being a faggot sucks when your family is religious

U'rent alone, OP

Whenever I see other people talking about how open their parents were in letting them question my gender, I want to strangle my priest

I hate reactionaries so much it hurts

Being atheist is not necessary to be progressive (and the opposite). My family is both Catholic and progressive.

Then your family is very contradictory. The Bible fails to support their progressive views because it endorses slavery, torture, and abuse and then claims to be a message of love for the faithful. It's a disgusting piece of garbage and Catholics endorse it whether they admit it or not.

I see where you come from. While I don't agree, I'm not really interested in discussing this now. I was just sharing my experience, there are a lot of people like that. Anyway, it was probably not that pertinent, so pretend I didn't say anything.

It does it's unfortunate that in 2026 being LGBTQ+ isn't as accepted, they may call us faggots but we're fucking kings and queens

Saaaaaaaaame! I always wonder if I would have figured out my sexuality before my late thirties if my parents were not pushing the Christian agenda of being straight. I also probably would not have married my abusive husband if they did not pound it into my head that happy life means getting married.

Better a hypocrite than a zealot, as I've heard said!

ב''ה, vaguely was by modern standards of religiosity compared to the ol' "weddings and funerals" way the Boomers did it, just left me unprepared and stomped by religion.
