Toronto’s gay village is jt a ten mute walk om where I live. I found out later that this is the gay ffee shop all of the Greater Toronto Area.

I have talked to que a number of gay men now–almost all of them whe and middle aged. When I first meet someone at the ffee shop and they ask me what I do (which is a natural “” to troducg the gospel) they assume that I mt be a liberal gay Baptist mister, bee otherwise what would I be dog their ffee shop?
Gay men love to talk (at least the on this ffee shop seem to) and people general today enjoy discsg “spirualy”.
I have been able to share the gospel wh many men over the past two years, even though I am sayg thgs highly offensive to the gay liftyle–which is actually their inty. ” I have done thgs my life that I am ashamed of and oftentim what I am ashamed of the bible lls my “s” (I have found that gay men n relate very well to shame). I do not zero on their homosexualy (which is what they expect me to do) but rather the fact that they are sners.
