another ramble about sexuality and religion, from an email to a friend
Y’know, there’s a tension between my sexuality and my religion, but it’s not within me. It’s outside me. It’s a tension the world creates. I have never personally entertained, for maybe more than five minutes, the idea that God doesn’t want me to be gay and be in relationship with another woman. So even though I was extremely depressed to be so separate from everyone else, and felt unloved and unlovable, I never had issues between me and God. It’s me and the world that I’ve had to deal with and figure out how to navigate. In that way, my coming out process has been pretty good. God’s always been close, if I keep myself open, and that’s what’s kept me alive.
