I've had such a battle with my religious beliefs growing up and the conflict of who I loved. I finally began accepting myself when it dawned on me that a heaven that doesn't accept me for the gender I love isn't really a heaven at all
I relate to this a lot. I was also raised evangelical and I never felt any joy or excitement about heaven the way most Christians seem to. It sounded boring, just praising god all day and night. But I didn't want to go to hell, because being tortured in hell was definitely worse. But for me Christianity was always about fear. It's hard to leave that trauma behind.
As a religious lesbian, trust me it wouldn't have been any easier if you'd followed that path. We will always be hated by the world no matter where we follow.

Thank you for this. It made me cry. I am made of fire. I will remember.
The world has been hurting my lil' trans heart lately, and this helped. This helped a lot.

I love you, and all of the commentors, and all who are reading this without commenting. None of us will sing alone.

The We Know The Devil vibes of this comic are so strong.

I just want to tell you that your work touches me in a way no other artist has, except Terry Pratchett.
This is beautiful, thank you
Holy sh... this is beautiful!
Going through a weird part of my life, thank you for reminding us we are all made of fire
Thank you <333
In tears over this. This is beautiful.
With all the "you're going to hell for being gay" rhetoric being tossed around like confetti at a wedding, it's easier to believe in reincarnation.
Think of it as a Try Again button except you don't have any past memories.
God this was beautiful
Wow. I feel this so deeply in my chest. Thank you.
