Married Evangelical Minister: “I’m Gay”
By Jeremy | February 2, 2007
...Before long I was confronted with the reality that I was different. While I had never acted on it, by my orientation, I realized, "I'm gay". That terrifying revelation came crashing down on me like the weight of the world. Here I was, a scrawny teenage boy who hated sports and loved poetry, part of a traditional Evangelical church in a rural community filled with farmers, hunters and hockey players.... However, I believe that practicing homosexuality is inconsistent with Christianity.... That being said, I also believe,and with far more conviction, that the church has failed miserably in our treatment of this issue and more specifically (and tragically) our treatment of the people who are homosexual, by orientation and/or by practice....Read how Jamie continues to reconcile this in his own life.
