The Letter

Twenty-two years ago, a boy raised in the Texas Bible belt was desperate to escape the darkness of his personal closet and felt his only way of surviving was to be truthful.  He penned a letter to his parents, hoping they could somehow understand.  The journey was painfully terrorizing, but the love shared proved to be a stronger experience than the anxiety of facing honesty.  His paralyzing acknowledgment had freed him from his darkness, yet drove his mom inside her own stifling closet.  This true story was written to illuminate the struggles many families face while dealing with the stigma of homosexuality.  The road leading to healing was long, but with God's help, we all survived.

I believe it is our duty as God's children to make our world better.  That continues to be my prayer.
