LGBTQ+ Community: Why Are You Still Supporting a Religion That Doesn’t Accept You?

🌈 In this bold and deeply personal episode of The Living Deeply Podcast, Markieta Carter challenges the LGBTQ+ community to ask a difficult question:

Why are we still loyal to religious systems that openly reject our existence?

This episode explores religious conditioning, shame, trauma bonds, self-abandonment, and the emotional impact of constantly seeking validation from institutions that condemn LGBTQ+ identity. Markieta also speaks directly to LGBTQ+ church leaders who continue preaching messages that taught them to hate themselves — while privately battling fear, suppression, and emotional exhaustion.

✨ Topics include:

* LGBTQ+ religious trauma

* Conditional acceptance & self-worth

* Internalized shame

* Church leadership & masking authenticity

* Spirituality vs religious control

* Choosing liberation over self-rejection

* Healing, authenticity & emotional freedom

This episode is raw, controversial, emotional, and unapologetically honest.
