Yes! Sometimes queer people ask me why I bother to talk about the Church instead of just moving on with my life and ignoring it. You’ve put your finger right on the pulse. So many people like you had to put up with the toxins and the resulting damage even though you didn’t want to.

It’s so strange; an overwhelming percentage of ordinary lay Catholics in the US totally disagree with Church teachings on LGBTQ issues, yet they continue to send their kids to Catholic schools and church services, where their heads get messed up by messed-up doctrine.

It’s really troubling and sad.
