I have zero problems with paying off student loans. I made the decision to take them out. Was I young? Yes. But it was my decision. What my problem is, is the spiked interest rates that make you pay almost double what you took out. THATS what’s shady.

Christian couples will get engaged and married within a year bc they’re horny and trying to wait to have sex and then have the AUDACITY to say they “overcame temptation” or “beat their lustful desires” and “it was hard but worth it.”

One time I was crazy depressed and walked into my home church hoping to feel something. I sat down on the verge of tears. A deacon approached me and said “you need to take your hat off or else pastor will get mad” and walked away. I stood up and walked out.

To all the people shouting “repentance”: That approach won’t work for the majority of LGBTQ people. In fact, it makes us want to say “fuck you” and walk away for good. Even if you believe repentance is the answer, perhaps find another approach that keeps them in church.
