Purgatory: Not Gay Enough to be Gay; not Straight Enough to be Straight
Michael B. Hamar, an attorney who came out in mid-life, writes the blog Michael-In-Norfolk, which includes his thoughts about coming out in mid-life, life, love, religion, politics and current events (and a few pictures.)
He made the following comment, “As I have discovered through this blog there are MANY, MANY men struggling to “come out” in mid-life or otherwise come to terms with the sexuality.”
He asked me to make a contribution to his blog about ex-gay ministries and reparative therapy. Through a deliberate mischaracterization of homosexuality and accusing the LGBT community of some non-existent agenda intended to recruit innocent people into the “life style,” organizations like the Family Research Council, the National Organization for Marriage and the Christian Coalition have exaggerated and distorted the issues, extending the time for those stuck in same-sex purgatory. (Pictured is Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council.)
