God, Granny, and the Girl at the Sleepover: Chloé's Story

TW: Drug Addiction, Abuse, Hate SpeechChloé (she/her) is a Kentucky-born activist who has spent a decade working in domestic and sexual violence clinics.Raised by her grandmother after losing her mother to addiction, Chloé grew up in a small, Baptist town and attended what she calls a “cult school,” where creationism replaced science and queer people were condemned from the pulpit. Her quiet prayers for God to take away her queerness eventually gave way to acceptance.Now a spiritual progressive rather than a religious one, Chloé has reclaimed the compassion that first drew her to her faith.
