God makes LGBTQ people and God loves them just as they are. They deserve the same rights as everyone else. Anyone who says otherwise is a bigot and you can tell them I said that. #GodLovesGays
@godpod I popped open this app because I needed a quick burst of positivity, as I am having a very bad bout of self hate at the moment and I saw this. Now I am laying here balling because God says he loves me and people like and its the first time in my life I feel like it might true. Thank you.
@AngryArtist@godpod You ARE loved, Angry Artist. I accept you as you are. I support the #LGBTQ community! You are safe in my space. No hate allowed on my profile.
@Jenn0608@godpod thank you. It can be difficult. I was brought up in a conservative, Christian household and violence has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It took me until I was nearly forty to come out, even to myself. It's hard to believe that there is a place for people like me, even though I know there are people who do love an accept us.
@AngryArtist@godpod You're welcome. I grew up valuing and accepting everyone. It wasn't until my own child came out to me as nonbinary a year and a half ago, that it hit closer to home. I learned all I could to understand and support in the best way I could. My child is still the same child.....you know? I wish you well.
@Jenn0608@godpod it's true, having kids and see what they go through changes you. Usually for the better. My son owning his own trauma and sitting through him dealing with it is what gave me the courage to own my own trauma and come to admit who I am. Stay safe and awesome.
