    When that faith preaches that who you are is wrong, that you need to deny part of yourself, and try to change ‘with God’s help’. I fell in love with another woman when I was 21, and struggled deeply with these issues in my conservative Presbyterian church. I was taught the Bible is The Word of God, and the passages from Leviticus and Romans were pretty clearly judgmental. Yet I knew this was a part of me that I couldn’t change. Did that make me evil? I was not able to resolve the issues, and spent 10 years away from church. In the last year, I’ve started attending Meeting with the Religious Society of Friends (Quaker). They see ‘that of God in every one’, and accept all.
