I Tried To Be Straight Podcast
Приєднався 11 січ 2024
Welcome to the I Tried to Be Straight Podcast! We both grew up in Christian culture where being gay wasn't acceptable. After years of struggling with our sexualities, we both recently came out of the closet. We're here to unpack those journeys, and learn more about the struggle of accepting your sexuality in a culture where it's not acceptable. We're entering into the stories of others, digging into theology, learning more about gay culture, and trying to give a glimpse of just how hard it is to try to be straight.
