...I came out to my friends and family. The column on gay and lesbian issues I wrote in the mid-80s was one of the first of its kind in a student newspaper in Canada. I represented the Waterloo student group on Toronto's Gay Community Dance Committee, which organized fundraising dances at the (Lord, have mercy!) Masonic Temple. I joined in countless marches and demonstrations for gay rights. You've heard of disco bunnies, who spent all their time on the dance floor; my lover's roommate aptly pegged me as a "Movement bunny."
...I realized I needed to examine whether gay sex was compatible with living a life wholly devoted to Christ. I finally concluded that it wasn't, at which time the break I'd been taking from sex with guys turned permanent.
I came to think of myself as a celibate gay man and later to renounce altogether the gay identity that had once been fundamental to my self-image.

From the Sheepcat's blog. This selection is from "part 1". There is also a "part 2" and he writes that a "part 3" is coming soon.
I've known the Sheepcat (both online and in person) for several years and consider him a friend. Blessings in Christ.
