Heartbreaking... I want to give them all a hug. I had it mild in comparison and still it did enough damage. I can't imagine how imprisoned they must have felt. I discovered who I am at 40 - so I can relate a bit.
I cried while reading this incredible piece. I feel like part of my story has been told as a lesbian who came out very late in life. From the depths of my soul, I thank you 🥹💕
This happens with queer males in the same fundamentalist settings. This too was my experience as a child and young adult. I’ve never felt more safe with a partner than I do now that I am living as authentically as I possibly can.
I’m sure this has been discussed over and over by now though. I’m glad that everyone’s past traumas etc. are getting seen and ultimately healed regardless of gender.
Amazing beautiful and heartbreaking 💔 work sending lots of love to you and the other people in your work and also sending prayers and love to you all love 🥰 your family friend John from Australia xx ❤️❤️💜💜💙💙
Reading this makes me feel a lot more impressed about the first lesbian I ever heard of: my stepfather's first wife. She divorced him in the early 90s after realizing her sexuality in rural north Florida and even ended up with custody of their two daughters for several years.

But being married to a man ... *shudders*
