Villain - Teniwoha ft V Flower
This song is my greatest comfort as a queer person; living in a Christian household, I've spent life surrounded by people who are repulsed by my sheer existence. "That isn't natural," "two of the same kind can't reproduce", and "it's a sin" are flippant remarks targeted at the LGBTQ+ community, and yet I hardly hear said Christians professing about God's grace and love half as much.
The never ending cycles of condemnation and guilt used to torment me; at one point, shame and distress were the only emotions I recall being able to feel. Recently though, I have begun to take pride in my identity, and have found people who love and accept me: I now attend a church with a congregation filled with LGBTQ+ people like myself, and while I and others are still rejected by the majority of "Christians", I no longer feel as great of distress when receiving hurtful comments from others. I will always be shunned by some, and I have finally come to embrace this truth. Long live the villains of the world!
