This was the only reason I wanted to get married when I was in my early twenties and still going to church. I wanted to be able to express my sexuality without feeling shameful every time I did. Not a reason to enter into a lifelong commitment!
Amazing article. Every word hit home, as I have a very similar story. I wrote about my journey coming out as bisexual and leaving the church for Insider. I'll link it in case you want to read. Thanks so much for this.
