I felt different from other boys
I have been watching 'Coming Out' videos on YouTube. So many of them say similar things:
"I knew I was different at a young age"
"I tried to like girls but couldn't"
"I didn't feel confident around other boys"
"I feared rejection from Church"
"I was afraid I would go to hell"
It was strange to hear other men speak to what my experience was as a child. So much fear. So much confusion. So much isolation. No child should be made to feel that way about something beautiful like sexuality.
