Happy National Coming Out Day to ALL MY LGBTQ+ 🏳️🌈 friends who are out and those who are not yet out!
Coming out was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life! I was outed at a young age and struggled with finding a way to accept myself due to being told my whole life that if I was gay, Jesus didn’t love me, there was something wrong with me and feeling I was unworthy of love. I battled with myself, went through countless hours of counseling during which I was told I needed to “turn away from my sin”! I lost many relationships some of which have been repaired and some of which have not! All I can say is, the only greater love than the one I have with .m_s is the love Jesus has for both of us! I am so grateful that I was brave enough to love fearlessly (ps I got that phrase tattooed on my foot for my 21st birthday)! I am so glad I got the chance to love Sydney and that I get to spend the rest of my life with her! I hope as we continue to grow older that our world becomes more loving, more accepting, more open to this beautiful love! I am gay, I am OUT and I am PROUD! Happy National Coming Out Day! 🌈 ***an
