Thanks for this topic.

I am bisexual, and I really found it hard to accept myself during my teenage years and even early 20s.
I tried to push it down and "pray the gay" away for the longest time.

In my mid 20s I realised I could not deny that I was bisexual any longer. But still being in the LC made that hard. It was like the longer I stayed in the more homophobic preaching I heard from elders in the LC.

Every wedding I attended felt like it was being used as a lesson to push heterosexuality as the only right way.

This wasn't the only reason I left, but even so, when I first left and then met Christians who were also in the LGBT community and supported for it by their church, I felt envious.

I don't feel that way particularly anymore, but I do worry a lot for the queer kids still in the church.
