FORMER LESBIAN ACTIVIST

"Being lesbian wasn't an issue for me. I was happy. But then someone changed my life forever."

Having a lesbian identity was the best thing that had happened to me...I'd been rejected by men...ridiculed all my life for being a tomboy. I was angry about being treated as "different" from other girls, tired of the pain of rejection...I mean, as soon as I learned what "homosexual" meant, I knew that was me. I had no interest in men...and it just felt so natural, so I acted on it. As a lesbian, it was great to finally have an identity that fit. I loved being gay...but down deep inside, I wondered if living like this was right. Of course, I didn't think there was any way out...I mean, I was born this way, right? So why did I feel the doubt? When I let Christ into my life, He opened my eyes to a love I had never experienced before, but had always wanted. I learned how He had a different purpose for my life...and saw how His unconditional love helped me to heal the pain I'd covered for so long...I really thought I belonged before, but believe me, there's no better life than being with God.
