Conversion therapy is a lie that has caused so much damage & led to so many lost & devastated lives.
I think a lot about all the years I spent praying that God would cleanse me of what I was taught is sinful scourge rather than something She had only ever intended as part of the gift of my whole being.
I think about all those children who are still taught their truth is dirty.
