i wish there were more people speaking out about overcoming
unconcious bias or growing up in harmful environments and
actually growing past that instead of asking for
pity. i wish more religious people spoke about growing up with
homophobic parents, and trying to balance out strict faith with
understanding and accepting everyone how they deserve to be
accepted. i wish more adults spoke about growing up into a world
they didn't want to belong to. i wish more religious leaders
spoke about what was and wasn't acceptable concerning s.ex and
relationships instead of acting like babies popped out of the sky
and everyone was a virtuous saint withi no cravings or desires. i
wish athiests were more accepting of religious people who want to
stick to their faith. it's hard enough to balance out the idea
of having a responsibility to do something, of a higher power, and
of what you should do contrasting with what you want to do --
it's scary enough to believe in hell and punishment and right
and wrong -- without getting hated from both sides.
i hate this. i've been crying for weeks. what am i supposed to
believe? how am i supposed to act? who can i love? how should i
live?
and no-one gets it. NO ONE GETS IT.
either i'm homophobic trash or i'm burning in
hell, who can handle that sort of
pressure???
