Hi I'm Doug.

[redshift]

Just found this place and I really groove with resisting the opression!
Just hope I can find time to participate a little! I am a bisexual and
I personally have been deeply affected by religious oppression of gays.
I don't attend any church and probably never will because of the negative experiences I had growing up. I now associate anything to do with churches or Christianity with intolerance and shame.

I am not a Christian anyway, so it doesn't really bother me except when I have to be in a church for a wedding or funeral, but I still have a hard time being around religiosity. I know if I want to stand for tolerance I need to be tolerant myself of other people's religions, but I have deep wounds to heal before that can happen.

Anyway, just doing my first check-in.
