Paid subscribers help keep the lights on but I do not want anyone to feel excluded from certain content if it is of interest to them

A Note from Randy
Hello Friend,
As some of you know already, and for those this email has been forwarded to, I’m the guy behind the memoir WHY and the Substack Thrive. I write about surviving conversion therapy, dismantling/confronting institutionalized bigotry, and navigating life after religious trauma with all the grace of a toddler on a sugar high. It’s for people caught between damnation and drag brunch, and if that sounds familiar, you’re my people.
I would like to offer a free 6-month paid subscription. You’ll get exclusive posts (sometimes a little spicy), behind-the-scenes chaos, …erm… behind-the-scenes joy… and a subscriber chat filling up with smart people.
Consider it a no-risk way to find out if the writing makes you laugh, provokes thoughts, become a supportive resource, or even feel slightly less alone.
Cheers,
Randy Scobey
