My buddy and his boyfriend spent this weekend at my house. For those of you who don’t know, they met through the MormonsInNarnia blog (through a weird chain of events).
I started this blog to help those people who were like me (and my best friend): closeted Mormons who were decent people trapped between homosexuality and our faith. I used porn (the most common denominator in our journey) as the vehicle to promote a message: you aren’t broken, there are people in the world just like you and most of all, you are remarkably normal just the way you are!
Spending the weekend with my friend and his boyfriend taught me another valuable lesson: it is perfectly normal to love and be loved. Don’t be afraid to be authentic and vulnerable. I went to bed last night with tears in my eyes–happy tears. These two are in love. They put their love ahead of religion and a church organization. They are being completely authentic. I personally am waiting for a love like they have. Likewise, I look forward to the day when each of us can be honest and authentic in our desire for love and happiness.
I know each of our journeys are different and unique. I also know that progress will happen when you allow it.
Have a great Sunday my friends of Narnia, always know that you have someone on the sidelines, cheering you on. Now, be good.
