“I’m not a religious person at all, but these ladies still spoke so well about themselves and what they want for their lives that I was able to ignore the religious aspects of the show (I know that’s their entire thing, all being based in “following god” or whatever) in order to enjoy the non-religious aspects and have a little community of women who want good things for themselves. However, in the most recent episode one of the hosts talks about how she was “saved from lesbianism” after a conversation with her sister and “praying to god to save her from her sexuality” and I had to bow out. Ick 🤢. Do you have any idea the damage you can do to people who are searching for safety and community in the religious community while being gay? These people are searching for acceptance and love for being WHO THEY ARE, and she just says she literally “prayed the gay away”??? That’s disgusting. People could get hurt or hurt others with this mindset. People can lose family, friends and even their lives with this mindset. Shame on her. I hope she keeps searching within herself and “talking to god” and finds some acceptance for herself because you can’t “pray the gay away”. That’s not how it works. She may be suppressing her sexuality to follow what “god” wants for her, but she’s doing it to herself. No one “took” the gay from her, especially not some mysterious all-powerful sky daddy. If he’s real, he should have more important things going on than “taking the gay away” bc I thought the way “god” made us was perfect???? Guess not when it doesn’t follow that stupid religions doctrine.”
