Being Gay-A Journey into Self-Acceptance

- Man: "I am angry, confused, hurt, and disappointed with church and government leaders because they don't accept me as natural, equal, and worthy."
Katie: "They don't accept you as natural"-is that true?
In this wonderfully intimate public session, Katie supports the inquiry of a gay man into his beliefs about himself and those around him. My mom once said ... the biggest disappointment would be if one of my children were gay. Katie: And who believed it?
This video makes it startlingly clear what happens when we believe our stressful thoughts and how, in all innocence, we create our own suffering. The young man doing The Work with Katie shows remarkable courage and openness of heart. He can be an example for all of us, showing us what it means to go deeply inside and discover the truths that set us free.

I am a 45 year old gay man. I wish I somehow went to the future 25 years ahead to watch this video during those times when I was contemplating suicide at my 20's.... This video could have prevented a lot of the self torture and hell I went through.....
What I love about Byron Katie is this: So much of her material is out there and available FOR FREE for others to learn and do the work. It's such a relief that this isn't all about $$, which so many of these guru types are. Byron Katie actually wants to improve peoples' lives, and she isn't in it for the money. She's in it for the work. I love that.
I am a 23 year old gay man at a very conservative university. I go through so many of the same internal struggles that this guy goes through. I'm so grateful to have seen this process. Thank you so much for this video, and for your work.
And I am not a gay. To me, this session is about everything else as well and not only about sexuality. I could apply this session in other areas of my life. Thank you.
I've never watched a more profound video in my life and i don't think i ever will. This resonated with me massively, im a 20 year old gay guy. I also get irritated when my mother calls me all the time and its for exactly the same reason!!!! WHAT THE HELL. im awe struck.
The horrible fight to be "accepted" by others is what destroys. Trying to get others to use certain words will not heal your broken heart. Only your self honesty will do that
I just watched this persons' whole projection of himself change as he began to see his truth.....incredible stuff.
as a gay man, this was a HUGE turnaround for me. I am homophobic and after watching this for the 2nd time i'm starting to feel better and forgiving.
I m proud to be a lesbian 🌈 💗
I cried so much. A lot of this resonated with me. He did a great job.

Thank you for this wonderful show.
Hopefully in my lifetime, or my children's lifetime, people will look back on the long history of this struggle and scratch their heads at how society used to have this ridiculous hang-up. Love will get us all there!
I think every gay man in the world needs to see this video. So powerful.
This video is so emotional and deep and yet so freaking funny! The audience is awesome! The reality is that the toughest part is to accept yourself and who you are, even despite of your sexuality really. You'll then see that whether or not the world will accept you, it will be none of your business.
Being gay as well as an active and believing Mormon from a very conservative and rural family from eastern Idaho can suck sometimes. My parents are wonderful but the things they sometimes say, as well intended as they are, can be hurtful. Hearing of the harsh treatment my fellow church members and leaders sometimes extend their LGBT brothers and sisters can also be a source of great pain. I now realize that their problems are not my problems. This video has freed me to own both my religion and my orientation in a much more authentic manner. I cannot thank you enough.
I feel like crying after watching this, cuz I can really relate a lot to him from every angle. Wish I knew who this beautiful loving man is and give him a big warm loving hug. 😪 Katie is a genius wise woman...
This video blows my heart open every time
I'm in awe of watching this unfold. David you're an amazing soul and thank you for sharing with us. I'm certainly going to see Bryon when she comes to Lomdon this summer. Lucky are your friends and family David for having a light like you in their lives.
the first time I watched this, I had no idea who this was. This past week I had the privelege to spend time with David and experience him in his brilliance and living completely from his heart. He is an incredible person who I love dearly. I feel that homosexuality has nothing to do with a person's spirit, any more than the fact that I am wearing a slayer shirt right now defines who I am. I will always embrace the differences in other's lifestyles and love unconditionally.
