That’s really tertg, to see the challeng people are facg today were faced 100 years ago, except secret, bee [homosexualy] was a crime. I talked to [actrs Deborah Grover] about what ’s like to play a gay character, and we had a nversatn about that, and that was nice.

He prefers “gay” bee don’t gloss over what he experienc, even though he’s aware that the church n rry the nnotatn of one who acts on their sir. He wr, “[I]f I’m hont, there are issu I nsir more theologilly straightforward than gay marriage that scere Christians have disagreed on for centuri” (108).
