To the beautiful, brave girl who came out to her church
Your story is inspiring. I cannot begin to imagine the trepidation you felt writing the speech you would read out to your entire community, or the way your heart pounded as you bared your soul to your church. It must have been crushing to face rejection like that after all the time you'd spent and the energy you expended.
You will always have a place and a home where you are accepted with the LGBT+ community. There will always be people who will try to beat you down but never let them get to you. Wherever you turn there will always be someone who understands and is willing to support you. That's the beauty of our community, we all stick together.
You are never alone. You have a wonderful Mother that loves you for who you are. You have your LGBT+ family.
I guarantee you that there will be a temple somewhere that will be willing to marry you and your future wife one day. This is a progressive age, where acceptance outweighs rejection.
Keep being you, keep making your voice heard.
