For a long long long time, I was a devout Catholic. Even after I fully accepted my sexuality I was still an active member of the church and I didn’t want to leave. I love my pastor and church community and I still do. But recently, my gay friend has really opened my eyes. He pointed out that I can’t have both. I can’t be bisexual and be part of a religion that says my sexual behavior is sinful and disordered. I can’t keep defending the Catholic Church’s position on sexuality. My friend also pointed out that the last remaining bit of internalized biphobia I have is because of religion. To fully accept myself, I need to abandon religion. Some of yall may remember I posted a hugely controversial post here defending religion. How mistaken I was. So yeah, that’s it. I’m not Catholic anymore. Yeah, I’m gonna miss the community and my pastor but like I said, I can’t have both. And I choose to accept myself fully instead of what Catholicism tells me. I’m finally free.

Sorry for the long post, just needed to get this off my chest.
