Hard for me to imagine how any queer person could attend a Catholic service for any reason, although I'm glad you got something out of.

I can never stop knowing that Catholic nuns and priests sincerely believe that I am literally “depraved” and “intrinsically disordered,” that all us queer people are defective and immoral. Knowing that those disgusting people are so judgmental and arrogant fills me with despair and and depression.

I mean, I realize I could walk in and enjoy the lights, but knowing that I am a piece of shit to them, a faggot as Pope Francis recently called us in Italian twice in 2 weeks, would suck out any possible enjoyment for me.

I don't know why people have to be so disgusting and evil. I just don't get it.

But I know for sure that I'm neither depraved nor disordered, and I know for sure that the Catholic church is a sickeningly evil, disgusting institution.
