I went to Catholic School and Came Out as Gay. Let’s talk about Religious Trauma…

This is my story about growing up Catholic and being queer. I've done a lot of healing to work through my religious trauma. As a lesbian woman who went to Catholic school my whole life and never missed a Sunday mass, it was incredibly hard to come out and look at myself in the mirror. I never thought I could be gay growing up. But I was and am gay. Faith deconstruction is not for the weak. Unfortunately, many LGBTQ people who grew up in the church have experienced religious trauma. This is my story. To my sapphic and LGBT folks who grew up in the church, you are loved and amazing just as you are! #lgbtq #deconstruction #queer The best is yet to come.
