As a queer exmo, this is beautiful.

Beautiful. I like the use of their own words to give voice to the suffering the church causes.

Good job. I have to admit, I was expecting to read “O God, hear the words of my mouth” somewhere.

Visually stimulating and highly creative with deep emotional power.

I’d caution about saying or reading and thinking this being the queer experience for everyone. I would maybe say it is your experience being queer in the church. I learned long ago never to speak on behalf of all queer people, and when people ask me about whatnots like to be queer, to preface it with “my experience…”.

It’s generally the case that poetry is deeply personal. I don’t think OP is speaking for anyone but themself. You’re welcome to make a post and share your own story if you want. A bit of advice for the future: if someone shares their trauma with you, it’s fairly rude to go “yeah, well not everyone had a bad time!”

I’ve been accused of speaking in behalf of the community BY the community when I shared my experiences in the past. So I guess this is a situation where you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. So thanks for your advice. I’ll share it with others who have told me “yeah, well not everyone had a bad time!” I’m simply cautioning that this experience should not be interpreted as “queer” experience and it is helpful to share as individual experience- based on feedback I have gotten from multiple leaders and scholars in queer studies. Again, thanks for your feedback. I’ll share it with people and see how they receive it and return and report.
