„Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”. Mat 11, 28. Identity Narration of a Non-heteronormative Catholic. A Case Study

Summary/Abstract: Conscience is the light of truth, says a Catholic lesbian, Polish human rights activist. To her, it should be the key signpost in life. Obvious, though it may seem, being a non-heteronormative person in a democratic country may prove challenging. In addition, to reconcile one’s psychosexual orientation with religion requires breaking the ground and pushing the boundaries. Eventually, only a handful of people manage to further their own agenda. Th e present paper focuses on a personal narrative of a Polish lesbian who has managed to find the way to God. It is a case study which offers insights into how one manages to reconcile seemingly opposing identities. It is meant to reveal the stages of the process of coming to terms with one’s complicated social situation.
