“… it's typically easier for a gay person who grows up outside the Church to know God's love than for a gay person who had a Catholic upbringing.
The children of the Church, who should be the most confident in God's love, the ones who know best what God is like, are instead
the ones who grow up uncertain of God's love and afraid that there's no place for them in the Church...
Even (especially?) gay people who have always tried to do right and be good Christian kids often wake up one day in their twenties or thirties and realize that they have never really believed that
God cherished them. They have always felt, on some level, that God was disgusted by them and did not delight in them the way he delighted in people with more conventional desires.”
