The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School

by Sonora Reyes

It’s such bullshit that there’s a stigma around being closeted. We get shit for “living a lie” just because we want to survive. I don’t want to keep losing everyone I’m close to. I don’t want to get disowned and kicked out of my house. It’s self-preservation, not dishonesty. I don’t owe anyone the truth, and I’ll take my damn time with talking about it. Maybe never a-fucking-gain.

“Mijo, if the Bible tells me I shouldn’t love my kids, then the Bible is wrong.”
