I grew up in a church, and that’s the way churches were. They instilled in you that (homosexuality) wasn’t the way you should be.
I was just taught differently. Don’t talk to them, don’t mess with them, leave them alone.I never tried to talk bad about them or do hateful stuff.
It was just my upbringing in church. But I’ll tell you this: It was so wrong of me, and people have suffered. I had to grow up and really do some soul-searching.
