text: I have listened deeply to Ravi back when I was christian.  I would also like to say that I have overcome many emotional and personal barriers within my life, many dealing with how people treat the lgbtq+ community. We each have our own journey filled with obstacles, and I'm still going. I do, however, believe that breaking free of the church and finding out myself was part of those obstacles. I can finally live how I was born without hating myself.
