Hi! I'm Laycie
I'm here. I'm queer. I love the ocean, coffee, wine, and therapy . I was a mormon.
About me
Born and raised Mormon. Life long internalized homophobia. Checked off all the boxes. 50 years, a husband of 30 years, and 4 kids later I woke up and realized that I was in cult and that I'm not het.
