My evolution
Growing up in a small midwestern farm town was not all it is cracked up to be. Being “different” was never an option in a one-race, right-sided, religious community. This made life difficult as I had no direction and no idea how to discover myself. I just wanted to be me but who was that? I eventually ran off at 16 and went to California, wow was I in for a shock. Until then the word gay had only been seen as a hate word in my world, so you can imagine how I felt seeing the first Gay-Mart! I had no idea what any of the terms used in the community meant, I was lost and full of hormones.

Religion and LGBTQ+ Community.
Introduction: Religion and its impact on society have long been intertwined, often providing solace, guidance, and a sense of community for its followers. However, one distressing aspect that continues to persist is the stigmatization of the LGBTQ+ community within various religious contexts. While it is important to recognize that not all religious individuals or institutions hold prejudiced views, there exists a historical and ongoing pattern of discrimination that merits discussion and introspection. This article explores the relationship between religion and LGBTQ+ stigmatization, highlights the consequences of such discrimination, and advocates for compassion, understanding, and inclusivity.
