Self-hatred, revisionist history and overly dramatic attempts at heterosexuality were a part of my life for so long that I recognize the signs. I spun my story out so much that by the time I was convicted to tell it honestly, I almost didn't recognize it. [...] [...] Brian sent me this.

I find your honesty and courage and desire to be an authenticly gay Christian both admirable and incredibly encouraging. I first found your work on GCN, but then stumbled upon this blog, and after reading all of it, I'm really amazed that our paths never crossed. Not only did I grow up in Winston and go to Redeemer, but I've also become friends with many of your friends from college since I moved to Atlanta (Tish, Woody, Summer). Small world, huh?

For me it was meeting people like you that helped me to see the light. I was afraid to "come out of the closet" and say that I wanted to accept homosexual Christians with no strings attached. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to be a pastor anywhere. But meeting good men and women and hearing their stories, well it just melted my heart. I would be proud to "do church" with you. I hope I would be worthy of your friendship. A brother in Christ, gordon (rlp) Thank for this touching and honest story. For me it was meeting people like you that helped me to see the light.
