    He Has My Dad’s Laugh

    Journey On In Hope

    When I was a kid I loved my Uncle Nathan. He came to visit us a few times when my Dad wasn’t in the picture so to see him was to touch base with a male relative who genuinely loved me.

    Because of all the family awkwardness we didn’t see Uncle Nathan for a few years but I saw him again when I started going to college at MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University) in 1987. However, my life was quickly spiraling out of control and I dropped out of college and lost track of him completely.

    Until today.

    Thanks to a cousin I reconnected with this weekend, I called him during my lunch break today and we talked for a short while about our lives over the past couple of decades. He kept repeating that he loved me and was genuinely very excited that I reached out to him.  It also turns out that he is a strong Christian … I can’t even describe how joyful that makes me.

    I was afraid to ask him about my Father. I didn’t have to because he brought him into the discussion. He said that they hadn’t talked in years but, interestingly enough, my Dad called him just a couple of weeks ago. He gave me a phone number for him … it is disconnected. I emailed Uncle Nathan about that and we will see if he has another way to contact my Dad.

    ::: deep breath :::

    Often when I go visit my most amazing loving beautiful talented extraordinary beautiful intelligent awesome fantastic astounding beautiful nieces, they tell me how much I look like their Daddy. I got a glimpse at the wonder they have at me during my phone call with my Uncle.  Today, I forget what I said that made Uncle Nathan laugh but he sounded exactly like my father and that produced a mixture of feelings that had the end result of “good” sealing them/him in my heart.  I guess I am now willing to contact my Dad if I do end up getting some good contact information.

    ::: Another deep breath :::

    I am very happy to have reconnected with Uncle Nathan.

    Modern Family … In The Real World

    The Cast of Modern Family

    There is a new sitcom on called Modern Family.  I haven’t watched it for no other reason than if I wanted to watch Liberal propaganda wrapped in a snarky fictional context I would just watch MSNBC.

    Doh!

    Actually I just made that up.  I haven’t been into watching that much tv lately.

    This weekend I have had a great time so far.  Yesterday I did a fair bit of drawing, relaxed, had a very fun time hanging out with friends over dinner and coffee.  Then I came home and my brother called.  We talked for a while and he shared with me that he was just contacted by one of our cousins on my Dad’s side of the family via facebook.

    A cousin I don’t know.

    When my Dad disappeared the first time around (when I was 10) we grew estranged from that side of the family except for my Grandmother Thomas (meemaw) and my Uncle Nathan.  I loved my Uncle Nathan and Meemaw.  But eventually we grew estranged too.  Now Meemaw is in heaven.

    I knew there were other cousins.  One of whom I loved as a kid.  I reached out to someone on facebook with his name but they never responded.  However, last night I “friended” this other cousin my brother told me about and he sent me a message. Now we are in conversation.  I hope to get to know he and his sister (yes, another cousin I don’t really know.)  I would also love to see my Uncle Nathan again.

    One part of me is excited.  Not only do I get to meet new people (which I love to do anyway) I get to meet new people I am actually related too.  One part of me is upset, these are cousins … first cousins … and it is awful that we never got to know each other.  Maybe that will change.

    I have thought about, prayed about, this new life situation at church this morning.  They have come to mind several times throughout the day.

    We shall see.

    Back On WordPress

    Hey friends.

    My friend Jack Yan let me know about his experience with blogger and … well … it made me not want to ever have to go through that.  So, I decided to come on back to wordpress.  Now the comment system is a little confused between moving from blogger to here but I am hoping it will sort itself out on its own.

    We shall see.

    Well, it didn’t sort itself out. I had to completely delete and start over.  That knocked out some of the very recent comments but we should be good to go now.  It also lost the previous threading BUT the time links in the sidebar actually work to link you to the individual comment now (they didn’t on blogger.)

    All new comments should be fine.  And if you are looking for THE LONGEST COMMENT THREAD EVER!!! … AGAIN!!! <–there it is.

    And you know me, I like tinkering with blog stuff.

    You Were Never REALLY Gay

    Hold up a sec, keep in mind that according to some,
    Randy doesn’t have a “right” to write this post.

    This came through my formspring question service.  Anonymous writes:

    You stopped “being” gay when you were 20/22 years old. You were a baby, your life just starting. You were on drugs and partying. No REAL relationship, no REAL love. You have no right to speak about what it is like to be gay.

    First thought, who gets to be the keeper of the definition of “real” gay? I wonder what Mr(s.) Anonymous would define a REAL gay relationship to be like? Would they say that all the drugs and sex happening at White/Circuit/Pride parties aren’t “real”ly gay? And doesn’t Anonymous have a “real” name? But to the point …

    To answer respond to the question accusation (I explain my reason for doing so at the end of the post):

    I thought I was gay at 10. Convinced I was gay at 13. At age 16 I had my first homosexual experience with another boy the same age.

    Was thrown out of my house at 19 for being gay.

    Was openly gay to everyone from that point forward. It was my core identity and common unity (community.) Not raised in the church, no inner moral system to really challenge that until later.

    I was a victim of two violent crimes for being gay. My attackers sure thought I was really gay.

    I wasn’t nearly as promiscuous as those who stigmatize male homosexuals think but I had a number of relationships between the ages of 16 and 24 (not 20-22). I know I “loved” two of those men very much.

    So, from the age of 10 to 24, I was really very personally gay. Unhealthy in other ways? Totally. Never claimed otherwise.

    Every time I give my testimony I credit a drag queen for telling me about Jesus and the gay/pro-gay community for saving my life from substance abuse. I think that qualifies as real relationship and real love within the gay community.

    There are still gay/pro-gay friends from that time that I dearly love and I believe they still love me … and it is genuine.

    From the age of 24 to 42 (current) I have had friends, worked with and read about all kinds of people who come from a wide variety of life experiences and beliefs when it comes to sexuality. I have taught all around North America, written sections of two different books and featured in one book by Charles Colson. My testimony appeared in a full page ad in the LA Times and I have interviewed with Christian and secular media outlets across the world. Worked for Living Hope and now for Exodus.

    A few people think I have something to say.

    It’s very humbling actually. I never think about all of that so recalling it and listing it out … and then reading it is … weird. God’s amazing.

    That means I have been personally involved and invested in defending being gay for 14 crucial and formative years of my life (10 to 24 years old.) I have been relating with people in the gay community and ministering to/received ministry from people on a Christian post-gay journey for 18 years. That also means that I have been dealing with this realm of life altogether for 32 years.

    All that said, I think it’s kind of funny you don’t think I was “really” gay enough to speak to that issue. Thanks for proving my point that the gay/straight paradigm is no longer appropriate, accurate or useful.

    So you go ahead and be the gatekeeper of what it means to be “really” gay. I really don’t care. That’s not an personal insult … I just don’t care where I fit in your estimation of what it means to be really gay. That label lost its appeal a long time ago.

    I only explained the above not out of defensiveness. I explained because it intrigues me when people just dismiss my (and the thousands of others who believe the same thing, share similar journeys) point of view out of hand because we were somehow never really gay. I also explained to allow the reader to determine for themselves if I might have something worth contributing to the public dialog.

    And whether I have a right to speak to being gay or not … I do have a right to speak, period. And I won’t be silent … thanks for staying tuned.

    Now it’s your turn, ask me a question .

    3:30 AM Snapshot and God’s Love

    This post is a personal experience I have had recently and the resulting reflection.  As such I posted it here and not on the Exodus Blog.  I think it would be fine posted there (and maybe I will cross-post it there later) but it just seems right to post it here.

    —

    It was a summer night in 1986, 3:30ish in the morning. The bars had just closed, I was buzzed and sitting quietly in the back seat as my friend Rick was giving Kevin ( in the passenger seat and not his real name) and I a ride to our respective homes. Rick’s partner Gary was in the back seat with me. He was quiet too.

    Kevin however was anything but quiet. Kevin was through the roof mad as hornet about everything and everyone. Kevin smoked cocaine. They called it free-basing back in the day. And even with my drug filled past that was something I was never a part of so I might not be describing it accurately. All I know is that when Kevin did that he was hilarious on stage (a female impersonator) and a nightmare (meanest person you ever ran across) off stage.

    I made the unfortunate drunken mistake of trying to say something nice to out of his mind high Kevin and he insulted me up/down/inside/out/right/left and in what seemed like seven different languages only known to drag queens. He made fun of my age, my looks, my stupidity. He threatened me. I was never able to go to that particular club after that … at 18, I was under age. They all knew that but there wasn’t any more winking as this young one produced the horribly botched fake I.D.

    You didn’t get on Kevin’s bad side and not pay a price.

    Gary and I just looked at each other with big wide eyes as Kevin peeled the paint off the car with his verbal tirade. Rick tried, and failed, to calm him down. You simply didn’t mess with Kevin when he was like this.


    We dropped Kevin off and as I watched him stumble to the door of his condo, I can remember thinking how awesome of an artist he was but how miserable he obviously was as well. He made a lot of money and was like … famous. He had a wealthy partner (from what I heard tell) and amazing (what I thought) friends and yet a very upset and angry person.

    I remember Rick (the only sober one in the car) trying to make sure I was alright and not letting Kevin tear me down. I was alright. I was more annoyed with them not letting me smoke in their car than I was about being cussed out by Kevin.

    I would only see Kevin a couple more times after that at various parties.

    24 years later I friended someone I used to party with during that time on Facebook. I wanted to reach out to him with the love and grace of friendship.  Out of the blue, one of their friends posted a picture of Kevin to their Facebook wall. The problem is that the picture was of a picture of Kevin on the AIDS quilt. He passed away from AIDS a while ago.

    I wept.

    I didn’t even know the man aside from his stage personae and the night he cussed me out and yet there I was … weeping. Not breaking down with sackcloth and ashes kind of weeping but stirred with emotions that surprised me. I think perhaps it’s due in part that my last memory of him was negative.  It might also be due in part that the Holy Spirit was stirring up a love for someone that God Himself knew very well.

    If you read my article Grace & Gay Men you will know that I don’t believe AIDS is God’s curse on gay men. It’s a part of this fallen world just like any other disease. And as such, it has killed too many people I love. Even more people I know and love are living with the virus today.

    All kinds of questions came to mind about Kevin as I mourned his passing. What was his childhood like? How did God see him? Did he kick his drug addiction before passing? Did he know Jesus? Who are his friends and what would they say about him?

    I’ll never know. Of course I have no reason to expect to find out all of that. All God let me experience of Kevin was a handful of snapshots. It reminds me of my finite perspective as compared to God’s infinite love. God knows Kevin better than Kevin did. God knows us all better than we do of ourselves.

    And from what I know of God, He is good. I can trust that His love for Kevin never faltered or wavered. God knows every circumstance, talent, good decisions, bad decisions and so much more about Kevin. God is *very* good. He is merciful and just.

    So I hand my snapshots of Kevin to God … thank Him for giving Kevin life and pray for what the Lord brings to mind.

    If you could have dinner with anyone, anywhere…who would it be and where?

    I am going to assume that the person is alive and walking the earth today. It is very hard to pick just one person. I am not sure I can! So I won’t.

    I’d have dinner with Albert Mohler, John Piper, The Pope, Dr. Hugh Ross and Max Lucado in Rome (make it easy on the Pope.)

    I’d have dinner with Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Barack Obama … all at the same time at Rosa Mexicana in Washington DC.

    Some conservative gay leaders/bloggers, some Exodus leaders, Camille Paglia, Tammy Bruce in Los Angeles.

    With David Hernandez and Dale Chihuly and some other select artists at a Chihuly exhibit.

    Big banquet for my blog readers and online friends here in Orlando at one of the Disney resorts.

    I”d have dinner with Dale, George, Amira & Crille, Paige & Bob, Alan and Leslie, Eddie & Jill, Joe & Renee and other key friends in life in Hawaii. Probably some more and I would pull a Michelle Obama and fly them all to Hawaii for dinner.

    And, 10 people randomly picked from around the world at a restaurant the consensus decided on.

    Glenn Beck’s Rally – 8/28 Restoring Honor

    I like Glenn Beck.  I like his radio show better than his TV show but I don’t ever get to listen to his radio show much.  He’s funnier on the radio and scream-ier on TV.

    The other night (Wednesday maybe?) on his television show he said that tomorrow’s “8/28 Restoring Honor” event was not a “Christian thing but a God thing.”

    m’kay … ixnay on the istianChray but ok on “God.”

    It’s great that the rally is happening and it is great that people of all kinds of beliefs will be there but what good is it to characterize it not being Christian when I don’t think (unless I missed something) many people thought it was a Christian thing?  Most people thought it was going to be a a really really really large peaceful protest over where our country is headed.

    Am I wrong?

    Also, what is going on in Glenn’s head that can excuse taking the “Christ” element out of God?  Maybe he is trying to distance it from the political cultural christianity of the past thirty or so years?

    I wish I could be there for the grand spectacle of it all.  It will definitely be something for the history books.  I believe most of what the event is about needs to be done. Just interested to see what actually happens.  This week it seems he is going after the spiritual angle more than anything else.  Although I don’t watch him that often, I didn’t sense that being the primary angle before.

    Effeminate? Maybe, Secure? Always

    Excuse me but … did you just giggle?

    The question was asked,

    “Did you know so and so at such and such blog (militant gay blog) was blistering you about your gay mannerisms in that video you made? They said you were afraid of smelling gay but was acting totally gay.”

    No, I didn’t read that blog.

    I don’t read that blog or what that particular activist and his friends (?) write.  I find no helpful reason to read/monitor that blog because I get plenty of feedback from other avenues/bloggers that often challenge but are constructive if not at least informative. I really appreciate feedback from people who identify as gay (some I would consider friends).  I am grateful for those genuinely seeking to actually have a quality conversation instead of a public fight orchestrated to negatively energize their supporters.

    I made the video in question because I wanted to have a little fun.  I deleted that video the other day because it really didn’t have a point and wasn’t getting any traffic. My videos on YouTube usually don’t because I don’t promote them much (not a video blogger … yet ). I was just messing around with it so once my facebook/blog friends obviously moved on from it I deleted that particular video along with a couple of others that were … boring.  Some may say that about all my little videos but … back to the point .

    That said, let me set the record straight (no pun intended) for the person who alerted me :

    I am not afraid of people thinking I am gay (at all) so my joking around about the “Cranapple” smelling Fiji Old Spice deodorant being womanly was a jab at the highly successful ad campaign by Old Spice about it’s “manly” deodorant.  I also made fun of my own “swagger” because at early mid-life I just, for whatever reason, have zero swagger.

    I know! SUCH a disappointment! ::: just kidding :::

    I never said in the video that I was afraid of smelling gay.  Any report otherwise is a flat out lie (especially if they actually watched the video.)  That, appearing gay … or not, never even crossed my mind when I made the video.

    About my communication style; I wasn’t ashamed of my mannerisms when I was gay … I am not ashamed of them now that I am not. I personally don’t judge a person’s character by their mannerisms. I believe judgments based solely on behavioral stereotypes reveal that the one judging is at best shallow and at worst ignorantly juvenile.

    Granted, I used to consciously use these mannerisms in a manipulative manner (i.e. campy snarky humor at others personal expense and a rebellious way to offend “straight” people) but I put that immaturity behind me.

    What you see now is just like my southern accent.  I was raised solely by southern women as a kid so I learned to communicate like one before I found my own voice.  I don’t think I am as effeminate as I used to be. Regardless, I am not concerned with lingering mannerisms deeply ingrained into my communication style since childhood. I’m secure and not bothered that others might think I am not “man enough” because I don’t fit some masculine stoic stereotype.

    I am a man of God, a man among men and a brother to my sisters no matter what others judge to be lacking in me with regard to masculine traits.

    In Christ I am more than secure, I am whole.

    Florida Primary And Migraine

    Surprised to not see a bunch of activists outside.  Didn’t see
    any signs for Governor or Senate primaries either. Is there a
    law about that during primaries or something?

    Did voting give me a headache?
    ___

    Today I exercised my civic duty and personal right to vote!  I headed on down to the polling place on the way to work and voted for, among other races, Marco Rubio to be the Republican candidate for Senate and Bill McCollum to be the Republican candidate for Governor.

    Voting for Rubio was easy.  Crist twists in the wind of political fortune and will apparently say whatever needs to be said to be elected. So he will run as an independent.  It’s weird to go from supporting him (I voted for him) to losing all respect but … there it is.

    I was going to vote for Rick Scott in the Governor’s race but something in my gut didn’t like the “unknown.”  The known was scandalous enough.  McCollum has got his own baggage but at least he is a known quantity.  After the horrid negative campaigning I wish I had a third or fourth option but alas … I ended up voting for McCollum.

    One thing I have noticed is that the anti-incumbent attitude is opening the door for some really rich business people who got to be rich by knowing how to work their own systems.  That could be a good thing … or not.  The business world can produce the exact same kind of political wrangling, manipulation and corruption.  The difference is that in the business world you either produce or your fired … no elections there.

    Is it possible for a person of modest means to be elected to a high office?  Earthly systems are SO completely human!

    I actually woke up with a headache that turned into a migraine. I was out of meds so went to the doctor. They gave me a shot of migraine meds that got rid of the headache but made me feel really weird for a couple of hours.

    I guess I am really tired of politics if I end up getting a migraine after voting .  So, it will be a Fox News evening as I watch the polls closed and the winners announced.

    Of Elton, Rush, Ann and the "Homocons"

    So Elton John got lambasted by gay activists for performing at Rush Limbaugh‘s wedding.

    And …

    Ann Coulter is being lambasted by conservative activists for her future speaking engagement at “Homocon 2010*” run by the gay group GOProud.

    Does anyone see any similarities?  I do:

    • Here we see the top female (Ann) and male (Rush) conservative voices engaging some in the gay community on their terms.
    • We also see people who identify as gay reaching out to social conservatives with a measure of civility.

    There are pro’s and con’s to everything.  I have no doubt there are other motivations by all parties … but I wonder if these events might indicate that we are finally moving beyond the typical culture war rhetoric of the past 30 or so years?

    I’m still pondering and watching.

    Granted, my first concern is faith based issues and I am not currently involved in public policy (aside from voting and a little bit of blogging here and there.)  Regardless, I find these two situations interesting beyond politics to the broader cultural implications.

    *Homocon is the actual name GOProud came up with, not me.

    Letter from Brazil – Alan Chambers Ministers and Experiences God’s Amazing Grace

    I am writing to you from Mage', Brazil - a very poor city about 40 miles from Rio de Janeiro. I was invited to be the keynote speaker at an annual institute held at Central Baptist Church. The pastor's wife originally learned about Exodus and me when she saw a pastor on television promoting God's Grace and the Homosexual Next Door, the book that I wrote with Mike Goeke, Randy Thomas, Scott Davis and Melissa Fryrear. They ordered the book and for the first time ever realized there was a ministry out there for people seeking freedom from homosexuality. They know so many people in their area who are struggling with same-sex attraction or who are gay-identified and wanted to know how to minister to them....

    Unconditional Surrender by Gwen Gibson – Real Stories for August 2010

    ... In my twenties, the struggle over my sexual identity increased. I felt out of place in church and stopped attending. I never felt like I belonged, and I had no one to talk to about my struggles. I was barely able to admit to myself how I felt. When I had a sexual relationship with another woman I thought, finally, the barrier was broken, surely the happiness would follow. However, I came to discover over a period of months that whatever the need was that I had, this was not touching it. I remember thinking to myself, I am not sure what I am longing for, but this isn’t it. ...

    Living Water, The Well – Kristin Tremba’s Video Testimony

    Kristin Tremba struggled with gender identity and same sex attraction throughout the early years of her life. She experienced emotional intimacy with a good friend during college and through those feelings she concluded that she was gay. However, she didn’t want to take on that gay identity and kept her struggles silent. In her late 20’s, she began to fear that she would never marry a man and have a family. She lacked the trust that God would provide for her future and fell into an emotionally dependent relationship with a woman who pursued her. Although she acted out on these feelings, she still desired the label of Christian; however, she could not reconcile both labels. She chose the label Christian and surrendered to God’s will for her life. Her identity in Christ is not based on feelings, but rather on truth. We must choose whether we will be marked by our conformity to culture or by our obedience to Christ.

    Joe Carter on “Gay Gene Eugenics”

    No one who has followed the trajectory of eugenics-oriented biotechnology will be surprised that one the first targets for manipulation would be sexual orientation. In 2002 Francis Fukuyama speculated that within twenty years we would be able to devise a way for parents to sharply reduce the likelihood that they will give birth to a gay child. Even in a society in which “social norms have become totally accepting of homosexuality,” he argues, most parents would choose the treatment.

    Facebook Flashbacks and Friendship

    Almost every significant (still living) relationship I have ever had is represented in my friends list. It's been an astounding adventure to reconnect with people from almost every stage of life from my past to present. It all started in August of 2008. Two years ago I was on sabbatical and had a thought, "Hmmm... I wonder if my high school friends have found facebook yet?" Two hours later I had found 15 of them and was quietly tripping out on how much life had changed for some and was completely the same for others. This has led to a roller coaster ride of connecting the past with the present.

    Asking Questions

    We see in the Bible that God often asks questions. In the garden of Eden, God asked Adam and Eve where they were hiding- as if He couldn't see them. Jesus asked the woman caught in adultery where everyone went; why was there no one standing there any longer, waiting to condemn her?  He asked the woman at the well if she was married.  God doesn't ask because He needs our answers. There was a reason behind the question.

I"d have dinner with Dale, George, Amira & Crille, Paige & Bob, Alan and Leslie, Eddie & Jill, Joe & Renee and other key friends in life in Hawaii. Probably some more and I would pull a Michelle Obama and fly them all to Hawaii for dinner. And, 10 people randomly picked from around the world at a restaurant the consensus decided on.
