I'll always remember being called by my mother who beckoned me to look at the screen where a young man was being tortured by the church. Bag over his head, rolling on the ground, crying, suffocating, vomiting while the congression continues yelling chants, God will save you! treating him like the devil's child.It was the first time Ive ever doubted God. First time Ive ever heard the terms Gays, and Queers. I went through a lot in my childhood, but this was the first Ive ever been so traumatized. My mom tells me they deserved it and the church tries to justify their actions as if it was the most intelligent excuse in the world. At 12 years old, I knew only one thing. I would never be like them.
