Despite the age gap this is such a beautiful story. Growing up raised in a very religious household with the awareness and denial that I am attracted to my own gender had been quite a struggle for me and it still is now. For so long I have denied such things due the fear of going to hell because being gay is a sin & it may have unconsciously caused me to have internalized homophobia which is why I can only ever secretly escape through stories like this I but always assert how “straight” I am when armed with gay allegations. Idk why I’m so emotional, but the talk of death made me think of the afterlife, and the truth that’s always being presented to me is just cruel. While this is just fiction, stories like these do happen, and I then realized why would God ever be an unfair judge? Why would Jesus Christ save me if this is who I am, detested by His “followers”? People say this & that, according to the bible and that, but they aren’t God so who are they to judge me or anyone else? If you have no ill intentions why would it be wrong to love who you want to love and live your life with them just like in this story? Maybe it isn’t God that I’m afraid of but the opinions of other people, they’re cruel but God isn’t.
