This week on the Substack, I finish liner notes on my attempt at a Queer folk song. How can one handle well the disorienting experience of coming out, second adolescence, and the grief at the sense of a lost innocence? How can one survive, and not destroy oneself?

It is easy to be suspicious of teaching from authority figures if they have not been helpful or even truthful in the past. “To hell with all this talk of holiness and sanctification” can feel like a reasonable response if for years authority figures have used “holiness” to mean “respectability” and “sanctification” to mean “becoming more and more like me.”
