Highlighting a sometimes fraught pathway w compassion, it offers a hope-filled example of how we can come together when anchored by love πβ€οΈπ³οΈβπ

as a preacherβs kid, i was really really moved by this. seeing his father look inward to question what his love for Christ meant while finding out that that love means love for ALL was a really familiar journey. beautifully written.

Opinion | How My Dad Reconciled His God and His Gay Son
How did my dad go from hating homosexuality to imploding his church by embracing me? His journal entries show how he changed his mind.
My dad has been an evangelical pastor for decades. Heβs also loved me, his gay son, and gone on a journey that risked everythingβhis faith, church, job, and entire moral foundation.
Today I am so grateful to get to help tell part of his story.
