I feel like I never got this through my mother's head, that just because you SAY you love me, doesn't excuse everything else you do or say to me

Still dealing with this growing up in the Bible Belt. Deconstruction is painful.

Also just the ignoring of it all. I told my parents and didn’t even really acknowledge it, we don’t talk about it really

This is why it is important for authority figures to love and nurture all types of people no matter orientation or race. Also how important representation in media is for acceptance.

Tolerance is not acceptance. We can’t be friends if you don’t accept a fundamental part of me as a person

"disagreeing" with your right to exist as a person IS THE OPPOSITE OF ACCEPTANCE

you can't disagree with an integral part of a person's identity and still "accept" them. it's not something you can meet halfway with

When people say they are “praying for you” but they are actually praying for you to be someone you’re not or just praying for your salvation. 💔

If you cant forgive them, it’s okay. You don’t have to forgive to be a good person. They hurt you and you don’t have to forget

Growing up Mormon. And being queer the anger I have to still live with of being accepted. People praying for me. My own sister. I hope one day to be free of that anger.

the mental gymnastics of what it means to "love someone" under mormonism can seriously be so toxic, I hope you are in a better place now

Accepting someone and tolerating them are two very different things. For them, "accepting" you that way was useful; it bolsters their authority and aire of magnanimity. It was about them.

accepting doesn't come with a disclaimer, even if you do disagree or have a different perspective.
