sorry for the silence. i hope to be back with more content soon. but i did want to come out of hiding to post the following. i’ve been saddened and horrified to hear of all of the youth suicides that have been happening lately. i wanted to hopefully do something to help and so i recorded my first ever vlog as part of the “it gets better” campaign. i’ve read some criticism of this campaign but i still feel that getting these stories out there is important. and especially important to hear from religious folks. so here’s my video:

Thank you so very much for your vlog. Thank you for sharing yourself so freely with all of us but most of all for the young ones who don’t know that we can survive to a point in our lives where we know our own truth and embrace the love of God that we have always known we could feel deep inside us.
Bless you on your journey. I am at your service if I can ever be of help to you.
Here via twitter and wanted to applaud you for doing this. I made my own post about the It Gets Better project recently, and this has all been much on my mind. Anyway, props to you.
Thank you!! This is a wonderful message of hope to us all.
Yes! Thank you for this amazing witness to living the queer life and coming out the other side. You hit it on the head: as hard as adolescence is — and it is so hard — it is possible to live through it and be all of who you are. Thank you again.
Probably one of the most eloquent of the “It Gets Better” videos that I have watched. Thank you for your words and your witness and your ministry. I look forward to serving the Church alongside you!!
