Part 3: Growing Up Gay In A Religious & Intolerant Household: Mona Morsy's Story

Wassup glorious listeners! This episode features the 3rd and final installment of Mona Morsy's moving tale of coming out and coming of age within the context of a conservative religious family that ostracized and ridiculed her for being who she is. We pick up where we left off last episode, with Mona navigating her experience at the "sinner's camp" for girls, where her mother had sent her after discovering her relationship with another young woman while she was in middle school.

Mona's story doesn't really end as much as it takes us into the present moment, where some elements are relatively resolved but many are still in process and some remain not resolved at all. Real endings are always a bit messy, and it would behoove us to remember that in our current hyper-filtered, picture perfect Instrgrammable social-sphere.

Big thanks again to Mona for having the courage and grace to share her story. Mona will be starting her own podcast soon, The Exorcism of Us. I'll be sure to plug it once the first episode is live. We are also brainstorming some collaborative projects combining our two podcasts as well, united under the umbrella of doing our best to move the culture forward. Thank you for being a part of it!
