    Supporting Your Cousin's Journey in Anti-Gay Religion

    Лучшая цитата из Supporting Your Cousin's Journey in Anti-Gay Religion

    “

    Coming out in an anti-gay religious environment isn't just about personal identity; it's about potentially losing everything they've ever known: their community, their family, and their entire support system. This creates a false binary where it feels like you can have faith or you can be gay, but you can't have both.
