I honestly believe if I had not been born homosexual, my experience with the church would not have ended the way it did. I found great comfort in the church as a child and I wanted to be an exemplary Christian. I wanted to follow the teachings of Christ to the best of my ability. I think that if things had been different, I would still be in the church singing hymns. But as I got older, I could not reconcile my beliefs with the religious teachings of the church on homosexuality. So at seventeen years of age, I walked away.
