Growing up, I heard so many from my parents generation saying things about having to work against your impulses. I heard so many express worry about denying attractions and fears of the same sex being attracted to them, worried about finding themselves in a situation after too much to drink…

To the point where I briefly wondered what was wrong with me, that I never felt these temptations. I even tried making out with a guy once just to see the reaction. It wasn’t for me, I just don’t have that attraction in me.

I realized VERY young that the gay/straight thing was a whole lot easier AND a whole lot more complicated than it had been sold.

Closeted religious people are like that.

I still think about the time a pastor talked about having to repress thoughts, like making love to another man.

And I just sat there going, "Uh I don't think about that. Do you have that thought a lot, pastor?"
