I’m posting this because it’s my duty to do so. It’ my duty to be out as a gay man in our society and to be a positive example for gay youth so that madness like this will stop. I pray for a day when hatred towards lgbt people is a thing of the past. We are not ‘recruited’ to be gay. We are born this way. It’s not a ‘sin.’ It’s simply who we are and how we love. Wake up world. If you think it’s a ‘choice’ ask yourself this: Why would anyone choose to be ridiculed, hated, bullied and become depressed to the point of committing suicide? We fight our gay feelings because we’re told that they’re wrong and this is the result. Don’t argue the Bible with me. I’m the son of a preacher and attended two Christian universities. I’ve studied the Bible my whole life and I know this: Jesus said absolutely NOTHING about homosexuality. Before you cast a stone examine your own life and think about the fact that compassion, love and understanding are what’s really needed in this world. Not trying to convince our youth that they’re evil because of their feelings for and attraction to someone of the same gender.
