I am forever greatful for this sight and to be able to tell my story. I was rejected by my church and not accepted for being gay. I struggled with my sexuality for many years and finally decided if I would go to Bible College, it would fix everything, only to realize that they did not want people that were gay or people that had ever been in a homosexual relationship. As I sat in the admissions office filling out my papers for enrollment I came to the question of homosexuality, I realized then at that moment I needed to go back home, leave my church and find myself. I left church at the age of 20 years old and never stepped foot into a church again until I was 35 years old. I am now a 46 year old gay christian man that has found a much bigger and more powerful God than I have ever known. There is hope for all who are struggling with their sexuality and christianity.
I am currently writing my story and speak at local Universities in their Diversity, Human Sexuality and SexEd classes. It is a more than wonderful feeling to let people know that it is ok to be who you are and who you were created to be.
A few years ago I was surfing the net and found Anthony Venn-Browns book…”A Life of Unlearning” . It was almost as if it had been put in front of me by this huge, powerful hand from out of no where. I read it and it changed my life, my way of thinking and my way of accepting myself for who I am. I will be forever greatful for Anthony Venn-Brown and the call on his life to reach out to those in need and to those struggling with who they are. I have shared his book with many people and have always received positive feedback from all.
Thank you Anthony !!!
Life is good in Akron, Ohio
