You know what surprises me? Well not completely but its just so refreshing.
People who meet me now can just accept that I'm both gay AND devoutly Christian. People don't act like those two things are incongruent or mutually exclusive. I think they see how I live and realize that I'm actually serious about the Jesus thing.
Its nice...to not have to defend either. Its nice to be taken seriously as a Christian AND to have people refer to me and my future wife.
Its lighter even. Lighter to not have to pretend...to tell the truth all the time about what I want and what I like.
I made the decision to be very open about my sexuality coming to med school because I don't have time for people who have a problem with who I am at the core of my being. I'm also just as vocal about Jesus and who He is and what He means to me. I haven't wasted any time on a single person who has a problem with my religion or my sexuality and honestly, no one has told me they had a problem to my face. I've also been able to be completely available to people who like me not in spite of being gay but because of it because it shapes who I am and how I see the world. There are people who want that perspective.
I'm just say being out of the closet....its amazing.
I can't wait for my fellow same gender loving folks to come out in the sun with me.
Come stand in the sun.
