This Post Is About Sex

The journey toward healing from religious trauma and spiritual abuse is a long and winding path. I’ve done a whole lot of work around my experiences with fundamentalism, evangelicalism, and the purity cultures they promote. But there’s something about religious strongholds and the damage they do that cause their effects to be overwhelming and challenging. This seems to be especially true for LGBTQIA+ people who are raised in church, especially when it comes to sex.
