Whenever I try looking for advice for myself, as a bi girl, it just makes me cry (which is rare otherwise) & loathe myself, which I know isn’t true. But this blog has been so, so useful in realizing that its OKAY to be attracted to another girl, I just can’t be in a romantic or sexual relationship. And that’s okay, too. I can still be friends with the cute girls. And this blog has helped me so much to learn to carry my cross as I near Confirmation. Thank you for this blog, its a blessing.

I’m so glad we’ve been of help, anon!

And girl, do I know how you feel.

I grew up evangelical, and the usual party line re: LGBT in evangelicalism is that a “real” Christian wouldn’t be LGBT, that they can pray it away, and (get ready for this) people aren’t really gay, they’re just “deceived” and if they can somehow see the truth, they’ll be, like, un-gay or something. 

I’m not kidding.

Being bisexual, you can imagine how this weighed on poor, closeted, teenage me. I wasn’t Christian enough to even be straight.

Reading Catholic doctrine was a watershed moment. 

I’m called to holiness. I can be a healthy, whole, orthodox Catholic and still have sexual attraction to other women. I’m not any more broken than anyone else because of this. I’m not deceived–I’m me.
