For nearly a year, I've worked on this piece about growing up evangelical and gay. As the U.S. debates Christian nationalism, church, and LGBTQ rights, I'm proud (and anxious) to share my story. Church nearly killed me and this is how I survived.

My dad gave a speech at my wedding talking about his journey to accepting my husband and me. He talked about how messy the process was, how he made mistakes, and how the biggest issue he faced was himself. His willingness to acknowledge all parts of it hit me hard.

This sounds harsh, but—if you’re queer, remember this Pride (and beyond) that the most important person in your journey is you. I didn’t invite most of my family, and that’s fine. I was surrounded by people who love me. The people who love you most will always find their way.
