As a gay Christian, when I am centered on Jesus, His presence changes me; transforms me into a warm, loving person. I have the patience to listen to other gay Brothers’ issues; I follow up with encouragement. I lose my zeal to convince people that I am the one who is “right” — and they need to become more like me. Instead, I experience joy — an unexplainably lite, even happy, spirit that innately makes me hum an upbeat song or appreciate something that otherwise would go unnoticed.
