While I know several iends who are gay, “gay pri” is particularly special to me bee my dad is gay.

The story go like this: My dad has been gay his entire life. My dad’s father was the ternatnal bishop of the Free Methodist Church for many years, and my dad followed his footsteps, went to semary and beme an ordaed pastor the Free Methodist Church as well (which, for the rerd, do not allow openly gay pastors, om the FMC pastoral rponse to sexual orientatn that proclaims: “In this area, homosexual behavr nnot be seen as part of God’s tend role for human sexual exprsn, regardls of a person’s attractn”). I graduated om Sprg Arbor Universy, a Free Methodist llege; and by that time, I was openly challengg issu of homosexualy and the church class wh a few profsors who were open and unrstandg listeng and discsg .

When I was eight, my parents separated, ultimately bee my dad is gay. The church that took and helped her rebuild her life (non-nomatnal, not affiliated wh our former FMC foundatn and clearly–as I regnize now–a straight-up cult) tght that God hated s, that homosexualy was a s, and that God mand we separate om my dad–not eat wh him, not accept his gifts, not lgh wh him or have fun wh him. There are so many thgs about divorce and fily and–pecially at that time–homosexualy that e so much pa, pecially the church (my mom’s father was also a Free Methodist pastor).

Whether or not ’s a gay stereotype, I love that my dad lov Barbra Streisand and Eva Cassidy, and y, n rate and arrange flowers but so n a lot of other men who aren’t gay. When I found myself walkg wh my dad and Gary by my si, an arena among thoands of other gay men who also loved Cher, I’ll adm I got stopped by many who said, “Oh honey, you’re good.

All that to say, I’ve been wantg to terview my dad on the blog for a long time–about beg gay and his stance on the church he still lov.

GAY DADDY T-SHIRTS & SHIRTS

You are the youngt son of four boys, the baby of a highly rpected fay the church when you were growg up, the son of a pastor and bishop of the Free Methodist fah, the artsy one a fay of athlet, and later an ordaed pastor a nomatn that believ homosexualy is not part of God’s tend role for human sexual exprsn. What is your first memory of any attractn to men and when and how did you fally intify as beg gay?

THE GAY FATHER I NEVER KNEW

You know the scriptur people e to proclaim homosexualy as a s–somethg that will send you to hell–and the arguments favor of fightg legalized gay marriage, holdg church office, etc. I’ve seen a lot of nservative people who are out there csadg on social media agast gay marriage and proclaimg homosexualy as a s as if that’s their mounta to die on. Nevermd, there’s evil everywhere and far “worse” thgs happeng the world, but this is their missn–fight the good fight of blastg homosexualy on social media.

I remember when that big media thg happened wh Chick-fil-A when the CEO ma some statements agast gay marriage and was disvered that they donated a lot of money to anizatns seen by LGTB activists as hostile to LGTB rights. To see that people went out of their way to make a public gture to make sure their support of gay people not sharg the same right they enjoy is noted.
