ОМГ, они это серьезно???
Dr. N.: So your identity was gay, but you realized that even though that might have been your identity for ten years, that was not, in the final analysis, your truth. You encountered a contradiction between your gay identity and the truth.
M.G.: That’s correct, absolutely. When I was hit with the truth and I chose to reckon with the truth, I realized that a person could have habits, desires, all of which pertain to a gay identity, but the truth is still the truth. With this understanding, I now had a bedrock, and from that bedrock I could look at reality in a much broader and more peaceful way, so when I would encounter homosexual desires, I wouldn’t equate them with “me.” I would say “That’s just me feeling this way at this moment.” I would see them as nothing more than homosexual desires, not a reflection of who I am. Then I would ask: “Why is my heterosexual self having homosexual thoughts? There must be some sort of distortion here.”
