“As a young woman who grew up in Southeast Oklahoma and northeast Texas. I feel that shame and guilt and hatred that I have heard on this podcast. I grew up in church, hearing that “god hates gays” and other like terms. I pushed it so far back into my mind that I honestly thought the feelings I was having were normal.
Once I went to college and started finding myself, I realized that I was not “normal”. I still felt like I was wrong, that everything I was feeling was wrong. It’s taken me so long to really accept myself. Yet still in the back of my mind there was little slivers of guilt.
After listening to the podcast I truly feel whole and happy with my sexuality. All of the fears and conflicts I had are gone. I KNOW God doesn’t hate me, and made exactly the way he wants me. If all of these people can come to terms with it, so can I. I’m now proud of my orientation, and have all of these brave and amazing men and women to thank, for making a world where I can KNOW; in know uncertain terms that “ITS OKAY TO BE GAY!”
