If it wasn’t true, why hasn’t she come out and denied it? What does she have to hide?

The Speaker of the House? That’s what I call my wife!

*hugs* Thank you hun^^

It’s totally fitting, I agree. To be “Mormon” requires full cultural and social immersion in the religion and your local congregation. You don’t realize how intertwined it all is until you try to untangle yourself. Transitioning away required so much careful self-examination it really did feel a bit like an autopsy.

You can love your life but also be really depressed that there isn’t a single taqueria anywhere in the entire country. Tacos are important.

In the city I live in, there are gay bars, some of which I’ve been to with friends. I don’t complain that they call it a “gay bar”.
