This Former Christian Singer Came Out And Dropped A Rap Video... About Math
Briefly

Lindsey Leaverton, known as Elle G, faced significant backlash after coming out as gay in 2009, losing her career and support from friends and family. Over time, she found recovery through a waiting job and maintained her faith in God despite losing faith in organized religion. After a hiatus from music, she released her debut album featuring a diverse range of artistic expressions. Driven to effect positive change, she aims to use her music to inspire others and create a meaningful impact in the world.
I was told by a high up in the world's largest Christian organization that if I didn't end my relationship and denounce my homosexual lifestyle that she would call all the event planners I was already booked with and tell them I was gay and get all my gigs cancelled. Due to a gag order, I can't say her name or the name of the organization.
I never lost my faith in God. But, yes, I lost my faith in religion and especially these so-called 'Christians.' They turned their backs on me.
At seventeen, I got so bored over the Christmas holidays, that I stole my mom's classical guitar from the '70s with one string missing and proceeded to teach myself how to play the guitar and almost instantly began writing songs.
Of course, making music for the sake of making music wasn't enough for Leaverton. She wanted to do something that just might change the world, even just a little.
