Experience:

• The wonder of the earliest childhood memories.

• The delight of the unexpected discovery and joy of sexual feelings and sexual play.

• The overwhelming power of first love.

• The brutal and completely unexpected shock of homosexual insight.

• The unrelenting prejudice and judgment of a hostile society.

• The persistent and literally paralyzing fear of exposure.

• The profound sadness of loneliness and of alone knowing what I was.

• The unquenchable fear of complete separation from God’s love.

• The hopelessness of a child facing eternal damnation.

• The chronic persistent worry of what family, friends, and peers would think of me and do if my cover was ever blown.

• Sexual abuse: unendurable confusion and loss of innocence

• Spiritual explosion: understanding, gratitude, and peace

This is a letter to the heterosexual world toward understanding and acceptance on behalf of present and future generations of gay children.
