Growing up in a hyper-conservative Christian fundamentalist household, I struggled daily with homophobia. But I never let it get to me. I knew there was nothing wrong with me, and I refused to let a bunch of religious freaks dictate how I felt about myself. I was resilient.

Fast forward ten years, and here I am struggling daily with homophobia again. Looking back, I never saw this coming. I never would've guessed, not in a million years, that it would be 'queer' people who would make me ashamed of being gay.
