My story part 3

I'd been through so many episodes of depression, and the general feelings of hopelessness because of this secret that I've buried so deep for many years.  It was never my decision to struggle with it, it just emerged in my life. I spent many many years trying to change but I couldn't. By having this constant battle in my mind and in my heart every day, I became emotionally erratic.  In the past, I had read many people who claimed that they believed they became gay because of bad parenting, or came from a broken family or abusive childhood, debauchery lifestyle. In 2013, I finally found one story after another from christians who happen to be gays finally spoke up. They are pastors, reverends, christian singers, christian artist who just happen to be gays, being gay is not a lifestyle, is not a behavior, it is just who they are. They were brought up in harmonious families, never had sexual abuse or molestation, never had a distant father figure, in fact many of the

My story part 4

In March 2015 I left my church and moved to another church which accepts people like me, it was an extremely tough decision for me to make. Having attended my old church in the last 5 years had made me become emotionally attached to the church and developed a close friendship with some church friends, but I had to move on. I didn't abandon my faith, I was seeking a faith community where people would accept me unconditionally. My old church is a evangelical charismatic church, gay issue is barely spoken in the church.

I already knew where my old church stood on gay issue, thus I decided to leave the church without telling anyone my reason behind it. Yes, church is a safe place, but not if you are gay. It's funny for me to think that most christi

Stop comparing my orientation to lust

One thing that frustrates me when I come out to straight people is how they always narrow down being gay to sex and lust.    I know that no straight people become gay affirming overnight, most straight people especially straight christians already have preconceived notion about gay people, such as gay people are promiscuous which is the most popular, gay people only pursue sexual pleasure not love, and no gay relationship lasts long. In reality, how many gay people that they know in their life? do they have friends who are gay and live in promiscuity? Many don't, but these preconceived ideas have been perpetuated sadly by the church.  It makes me very frustrated  when  straight people think of being gay, they think of lust and sex and any emotional components are ignored.  Christian, when you  make  the blanket statement that homosexuality is a sin, what you’re really doing without realizing it is reducing all LGBT people down to a sex act; as if that alone defines sexuality.
