This topic is so appropriate, because I have said that I'm gay for a long time, and I've come out to people, and I've tried to pursue dating... But I realized this week that I'm not yet fully comfortable in my self
SAME tbh I still have a lot of guilt and fear with accepting my queer identity. I’ve always been told I’m giving into the devil being brought astray from god, I’m going to burn in hell or I’m “comfortable” living in sin. When I was religious this all got to my head so badly and even now it still bothers me. Not sure how I can ever feel comfortable with myself when I have all these looming thoughts thinking “maybe they’re right.”
Watching people speak into their hair dryers is liberating for when I have the same urge. I appreciate the content and support for people just like me. i was born in the 40s, amazingly amount of pain rejecting myself. Step by step, learning the need to support myself, celebrating isn’t on my program.
I'm 63 and gay here white woman in Texas every gay person I hear talk I just want to take them and hug them and hold them and tell them they're okay just the way they are I'm so sorry. I fight every day to stop this I am so sorry. The other side does not see the damage I do I'm so sorry I have so sweet but we have to forgiveness no matter what We may not get angry because it makes us angry. We have to tell them how much we love them to stop it maybe that's the only answer there is. ❤❤❤
I’m a regular watcher, subscriber and all that jazz. I feel like every person you guys have had on has told all if not most of my story! His moment of enlightenment is the same one I had in last year. I came out to myself after God challenged me in accepting that this isn’t going to Change. It was in February too, I got tired of running and I said to myself I’m gonna allow myself to try this “gay thing” out again. I changed my Hinge profile to look for same sex and I haven’t looked back since. This past year has been me sinking in and getting comfortable with owning my sexuality. In the past, I discounted my attraction as something I would die with, a dark secret that I had to Keep buried. Hell, I even thought that I would get married to a woman and that would either take my desire away or I would find some illicit way of fulfilling and quenching that desire. In actuality I’m at peace. I’ve seen signs that confirmed I’m walking the right path and I’m no longer fighting this war within myself. I was contemplating letting people in, but part of me is waiting like Mason to actually have a relationship and then that be my “coming out” Great great interview!! 💪🏽
Mason’s testimony of his life’s journey was so wonderfully articulated and authentic! I, too, was a Youth Minister and worked in the Church for many years and can so very well relate to his struggle. And I, too, found validation and genuine acceptance in the Episcopal Church. Nate, I hope that you weren’t too devastated by Susie’s claiming to not be in love with you. But as a consolation, know that I am madly in love with you! In addition to which, I am wild about your scruffy handsome face and those hot, masculine legs and arms of your! 🥰 Cheers, folks ~
Just found out today my gay fearing brother and his wife literally changed their anniversary date to July because they didnt want to celebrate anything in June pride month.. How can they be so closed to a God who loves all.. or be so closed minded.. it is sad but at the same time I seriously find it hilarious 😂.. You married in June but cannot celebrate that?
Love your podcast BUT your big, humongous Shure microphone you all hold in your hands are obnoxious, distracting and over-the-top ostentatious. Get some microphone stands that are out of camera range.
Please NEVER get rid of YT version of your podcast, I love watching y’all!! ❤️❤️❤️
Haha noted!!!
Agreed
Add me to the list.
“I don’t think God is going anywhere and I don’t think I can outrun him anywhere” 😭❤️
Another quality meaningful interview. Thank you. All have been appreciated.
Being "prideful" is different than being proud of something. Being "prideful" is more than pride.
As a happily partnered gay man who used to be a worship leader I relate hard to this lol

Happy pride to my day family around the world and I'm extremely happy that I'm gay I couldn't be anything else I've known since I was 6 years old

You married in June but cannot celebrate that?
Maybe be like God and love them.
Making peace with God and sexuality has been one of the most difficult things I’ve tried to do in my life.
Happy pride month 🌈
Happy pride!!!!
