I deconstructed about 15 years ago, so it takes me a while to remember!! haha

During my time as an Evangelical Christian, I was very torn. In my core, I didn't see anything wrong with loving whomever you want. But I was terrified to ADMIT that I didn't see anything wrong with it. I was confused over why homosexuality was a sin but I simply accepted it was sin because I was told it was. The stakes were too high. Who was I to debate what was sinful? And if I was wrong, someone goes to hell. So I usually lived in the middle and used the good ol' "love the sinner, hate the sin" cliche.

What a sad web of manipulation we all lived in. I'm thankful every day that I found my way out of it.
