Have you experienced Religious gaslighting?

It's when faith leaders, family, or community tell you:
"your queerness is a sin" but also "we love you"
"God doesn't make mistakes" but also "pray the gay away"
"you're welcome here" but also "hide who you are"

The message is clear: you're broken, you need fixing, your identity is conditional.

And here's what that does to a queer person:
1 - splits you in half (the "acceptable" self vs. the real self)
2 - teaches you shame is love
3 - makes you question your own reality
4 - creates deep distrust of authority, community, faith itself
5 - leaves you isolated, confused, and convinced something is fundamentally wrong with you

Religious gaslighting isn't just hurtful words, it's psychological manipulation wrapped in scripture. It's being told to love yourself while being told you're unlovable. It's being told God loves you while being told God rejects you.

The damage is real. The healing is possible.

Does this resonates with you? Which of these 5 have you experienced? Share in the comments below.

You're not broken, you were gaslit and you deserve to reclaim your truth.

Let's connect I have some free resources to help reclaim your truth. DM and lets chat. You got this!
