#oooooo what’s a sunday without recognizing a little religious trauma

[kpgimpactor]

Not a rant…but maybe just recognizing a reoccurring theme…

I don’t know how to say it succinctly but I was raised such a specific flavor of religious that when I meet people who are trying to raise their kids in a similar way, they sometimes express to me that they are happy to see me adulting well. They see it as a testament that kids who are raised the way I was raised can do well and I’ve been told I give them hope for their kids. (Let’s not unpack all that right now).

I take great pleasure in subtly reminding these ppl that I’m gay. I’ve never been a throw-it-in-your-face person but as they’re lauding me for having been raised how I was (in such a cishet crushingly religious way) and attributing me being a functioning adult to how I was raised, I start wanting to limp my wrists. Some people are who they are despite…not because of.

Yeah I’m a relatively well-adjusted adult (knocks on wood) who has a job and pays her bills and eats pussy and hangs out with fags on the weekend. I sure hope your kids end up like me.
