This is, fortunately, an issue I never had to face, 'cause I gave up religion long before I realized that I liked girls "that way." It makes me glad to read about somebody whose faith in God helps them deal with being queer in a queer-unfriendly society; it's so often the opposite case. Go you!

The good news is, our side is winning. That's why all those whack-jobs are so worked up. Twenty, even ten, years ago, there weren't any state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage, because the very notion was unthinkable. Now, it's thinkable.
