Heartbreaking, hopeful at the end.

As someone who used to identify as a "born-again" Christian, I know what it means to lose a community when you speak honestly about what you believe. I am not gay, but it stuns me to think that there are people in the world who are determined to make life more difficult for others just because they feel attraction towards members of their own sex.

How painful was this young man's choice--be silent about who he truly is--or lose his mother's love?
May God, The Universe or whatever bring a mother-figure of sorts into his life.
