So I have been a bit of a catalyst among the JW youth in my local area. Since my family was fairly well known, me coming out so publically and seeing the reactions among the people and my subsequent forced disassociation from the church has made a lot of young people ask questions. One of my old friends broke a lot of rules (and caught shit for it) for being really good friends with a gay guy we both mutually know. She's always supported him in his sexuality, but when I came out, she refused to think about it. She's not sure what to make of it. It's making a lot of people think, and they don't like it.
I'm kinda proud, honestly.
