My path was quite similar to Clive”s, so I can identify with a lot of what he says. Thanks for speaking up. There are a lot of other guys and girls in the same situation.

exactly. It has been seen before, over and over again. That is why its important to speak out about being gay and being a christian. Good on you for speaking out about something so many struggle with.

Retort. Gayness is tangible. Deal with it! Using the vagueness of purported spirituality and an all forgiving deity to gloss over personal inadequacies helps no one.

I think you need to brush on your understanding of the english language…….this is no cry out for acceptance.

Dont you get that he has spoken out about something that torments gay men every day? And he has gotten over something that seemed insurmountable before??

This is no plea for acceptance, it is more of a revelation in life, a time when you realise how things are and how you (all of us) fit into that, not how people want us to fit into that.

An excellent, upbuilding and inspiring read.

I love your feature and have forwarded it to my friends who belong to Free Community Church, an all-inclusive church in Singapore that welcomes gay people. They have been the butt of so many fundamentalist christian attacks but I admire them for their courage and perseverance in giving gay people a place where they can love God without guilt and in peace. If you ever come by Singapore again, do let us know. Your story is inspiring and gives hope to many!
