By supporting me at whatever point I am in my life. Helping me to accept myself. I no longer have thoughts of suicide or self harm 🙂

this is great Sophia……a very different place to what your wrote on my blog exactly 12 months ago.


I relate to most of what you say here…a few times I have thought it would be easier to kill myself and have tried hard to do this, ending up in hospital more than once…there has to be a better way 🙁 April 22, 2010

It is a bit longer than a few sentences. But happy for you to use bits of it, if not the whole thing. 🙂



  • Initially, back in 2007, I was glad to find Freedom2Be because I found out I was not the only pentecostal christian who was gay, and I had found christians who were able to reconcile being GLBTI and christian. I knew I wasn’t alone, and that I could talk about my very real concerns and the issues I was working through and the conflicts within myself about being gay and not only be someone from a christian background – but keeping something of my faith in God, even if I had no interest in walking back into a church.



  • After several years, and now understanding myself better as a gay man, I have begun a journey of reconnecting more with God, without any guilt / shame stopping me acknowledging his presence or talking to him again, and not thinking that he has turned away from me.



  • And today, I am ready to support others who are working through many of the same or even different issues within their lives, with being GLBTI and from a pentecostal, evangelical background.

thanks Boi70……well said now see if you can reduce that into a powerful one or two sentences……go on…..I know you can do it. 🙂 🙂 🙂


think brief testimonial that would speak to anyone who is visiting this site for the first time…….we will have a series of one or two liners from individuals. And of course Freedom 2 b[e] is not just the forum…..its the chapters…..MG……connecting face to face with others.
