Today, the GayTalk radio broadcast was about my personal story in dealing with growing up, coming out and love. It also deals with humanity and consequences of growing up gay in a society which damns gays. Click here to hear the GayTalk internet radio show.

I found a coming out story online from a 19 year old. I'll warn you now, he didn't proof read his writing. But the issues and points are still valid. So I'm starting to feel good about my sexuality, when I begin to feel pressure from my church. I should first state that I was forced to go to church every Sunday since freshmen year. Its a really fundamentalist church. No gay allowed. Its seems like every time there was a sermon it was about gay. "Gay to Hell" sermons. I felt like I was being pushed back into the closet. I becoming depressed. Suicidial even. Then two weeks ago I decided that I just could not go any more. And I'm feeling happier than even.

As if being Gay isn't enough stress for a young man, add religion into the situation and the stress levels skyrocket. I saw this posting on another blog today and found it quite moving: http://gayspirituality.typepad.com/blog/2007/08/still-and-know.html
