Illusions: Let's Be Real

April 1, 2012 in Openly Gay at a Christian College

The summer following my senior year of high school, my youth pastor invited me to be a counselor at a Bible camp located along a beach in Washington. My good friend (who had done it the year before) and I would be sharing a cabin of eight rowdy six to eight-year-old boys. This would be […]

The Invitation

February 28, 2012 in Christianity, Openly Gay at a Christian College

“Emotionally, how does it feel to be wrong?” asked Kathryn Schulz in a presentation I recently watched on TED Talks. Peering out into the crowd, she listened for some responses. “Dreadful.” “Embarrassing.” A thumbs-down from the girl in the background. Schulz points out that these were great answers, but they were answers to a different […]

Fundamentals

February 19, 2012 in Christianity, Openly Gay at a Christian College

My small private Christian high school could be described as decently conservative, maybe overwhelmingly conservative, practicing some of the you-say-a-swear-word-you’re-going-to-hell Christianity and turn-or-burn religion. Detentions were handed out for saying the word “fart” and don’t even thing about saying “c-r-a-p.” The Bible was taught as a science book, the key to all knowledge, and evolution […]

Relentless

February 10, 2012 in Christianity, Openly Gay at a Christian College

I never really understood how I broke his heart, crushed as some would say. He knew my priorities from the beginning: “roommates, friends, then whatever else.” Despite my loneliness, I knew I did not want to find my comfort in a relationship. He could always see that I was struggling, though. He could see I […]

Coming Out at A Christian College (Part 3): Tearing Down the Walls

January 29, 2012 in Christianity, Openly Gay at a Christian College

   Part 1    Part 2 The wind had a slight chill to it, but luckily, there were few clouds in the sky, making the sun shimmer off the ocean and into my eyes, making me squint as I looked at the San Diego skyline just across the bay. His luster-filled blonde hair didn’t help too much […]

Coming Out at A Christian College (Part 2): Reopening the Walls

January 20, 2012 in Christianity, Openly Gay at a Christian College

   Part 1 Inside our cafeteria, we have short tables each accompanied by two chairs sitting on both sides, “date tables” as we call them, ideal for a laid-back and highly unromantic date in the university cafeteria. That’s not why we are here though. — Sometimes, outstanding individuals catch you off-guard. I met this guy who […]

Coming Out at A Christian College (Part 1): Building the Walls

January 17, 2012 in Openly Gay at a Christian College

The rain splattered across my windshield as my wipers raced to remove the thousands of droplets so that I could see. Portland, Oregon tends to get a little wet. My hi-beams guided me through the old country roads; so far out they lacked streetlights. The night felt sinister. I was on my drive home from […]

Pain In Sincerity

January 12, 2012 in Life Lessons, Openly Gay at a Christian College

It’s two o’clock in the morning, and pinholes of light pierce the dark night sky. The melodies of Arcade Fire trickle from his speakers, and the sounds of somber crashing waves climb up the cliffs and reverberate throughout his car. From time to time, we have done this. From time to time, we have late […]

Liberation and the New Way

December 28, 2011 in Christianity, Openly Gay at a Christian College

Each year since I was thirteen, I’ve made the same New Year’s resolution. I would look up into the night sky and watch the streams of light launch into the air and glimmer in their glory as they illuminated my face. Imagining the lights as glowing dandelions, I would dream and wish, “I’m going to […]

The Greatest of These Is Love

December 27, 2011 in Openly Gay at a Christian College

December nights in San Diego can get surprisingly cold from time to time. After throwing a thermal over my t-shirt, I pulled over the thickest sweatshirt I could find and slid my jeans right over my warm sweats. In the process, I remembered a pair of purple wool gloves that I took from Mama Lewis […]
