Its been difficult to reconcile my being gay & being a man of faith. Its like an oxymoron. My mom loves me & won't push me away but strongly disagrees with me. I just got tired of feeling guilty & being miserable for what I am so one day I just broke down & said OK! I accept that I'm gay & I will live my life accordingly because I need happiness. A huge burden lifted & I felt so happy. I have had little issue with detractors. I do still have problems feeling worthy to be Christian though.
I grew up in the pentecostal faith. They are pretty strong in their feeling that its an abomination to be gay and that I'm of a reprobate mind and I need the demon of homosexuality prayed out of me. I spent years and years and years trying to do this but nothing was ever resolved. So I took the verbal beating from ministers and other folks and accepted that if I lived as a gay man I'd go to hell. In the mean time I always felt strongly that God loves me how I am. God still uses me.
I totally love this story, even if it makes me a bit envious that this is the life/relationship I have always wanted. A partner that was patient, kind, strong and we are equals, not just physically, mentally, financially, but most important equal SPIRITUALLY!!!! God Bless Them!!
This video really makes me smile, i'm a gay guy from Belgium (late bloomer) and seeing things like this just make me feel that as any Heterosexual couple i too ging to find that someone who will complete me... Thx GOD for YOU... :)
