After the Homosexual post, a gay guy wrote a letter he wants me to share
with you. I feel for him sha, my prayer is that God will heal them all.
Hi,
My name is Jason. I am Lagos born, I'm 33 years old, a christian and I love God. But I'm gay.
I didn't grow up with any uncle or neighbour that molested me. I didnt
even go to a boarding school. As a matter of fact, I was 20 when I had
my first gay experience but I had known since I was 7 that i liked boys.
What I did at 20, i did because i was tired of fighting it and pretending, I just had to let loose.
Don't get me wrong, I've been with women countless times, my friends
even consider me a womaniser but i don't enjoy being with girls. I even
have a girl friend.
For the past 3 years, i've been dating a guy. We're happy and planning
to spend our lives together. My girl friend knows him as my best friend.
I'm a successful man, I work in oil and gas, I've come out to my family,
although they don't like it but they're dealing with it.
I'm just writing you because of all the condemnation that goes on here.
We talking like being gay is strange and Nigerians can't be gay. We keep
saying God should kill them and they should be stoned. I didn't ask to
be gay. I grew up different. I have approached even famous pastors. I
have swallowed my shame and told them my problem. Its not been solved.
As a matter of fact, I don't know any gay person who has gotten "cured".
There are many of us that try to seek help, just incase we're really
demon possesed.
I've recently moved to PH with my boy friend, he's 28, we're both successful and living our lives.
I really don't know why I'm writing but I just want to express myself.
Jason I feel happy for you and your boyfriend. Please know that there is nothing wrong with being gay. Be strong and remember that not everyone thinks like a Nigerian preacher, there are more enlighted parts of the world were no one thinks loving someone of your same sex is a problem.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best and a happy future with whoever you love!
To the blog writer: I really encourage you to considerate different perspectives and to question your beliefs. Check out more the evidence and facts and prioritize them more than religion and tradition. I appreciate that you posted Jason's letter without censor.
Wish you the best, Nicolas.
