There's some poor use of words here, where I refer to the progressive queer rights movement as a "bandwagon" to get behind with. We live, we learn :-). However, here, I think, is where it gives me a glimpse of what may be bothering me a lot that time. I definitely remember being triggered a lot whenever I would be in family gatherings and the subject of my family's church would come up. It almost felt like a betrayal for them to continue going to their church knowing full well that I am not welcome in that space. I will eventually have the courage to confront my family head on, and be able to address the issue with them months later (I wrote about it here). But, I'm curious what happens between now and then. Will this story become something of a recurring theme in some of my subsequent vlogs? How will I eventually connect the dots between my addiction and, what I thought was, an irreconcilable difference with my family?
