celibacy can be painfully elusive. especially the “thought, word and deed” type of celibacy. after much frustration, desperately trying to make it work and meditating on the scripture that suggests cutting off body parts that cause sin… that was part of the perfect storm that caused atheism to dawn on me. i really respect people who are gay and christian, but i still dont understand how the two can be genuinely reconciled… by “genuinely”, i mean without making uncomfortably huge unilateral concessions on one side or the other. i tried that too, but it didnt quite work out and atheism kinda snuck up on me eventually.

to mr. Bussee, thanks for sharing this. it’s honest people like you who help rescue others from the lonely anguish and self-destructive trap that too many people have bitterly endured in silence… a trap that’s resulted in death for some. thanks for speaking out and making a difference.

Gonzales, thank you very much to transcript these videos. So it can better be citated. And so can non-so-well-english-speaking people, look in the dictionary for some words.

Celibacy is about the most unnatural state a human being can be in.
If it’s coerced by society, only on one segment of the human population, than it’s an exceptionally cruel expectation.

Think, the whole of your hetero community feasting and gorging themselves on the right to marry and be included. No matter how much you waste or abuse that situation.
And forcing gay people to starve for the same, and watch you take it all for granted.

Yes, that is the most spiteful and torturous thing I can think of.
And who in their right mind would think that’s a healthy and desirable state?

Only those that know they’ll never have to experience it the way gay people are required to.

That article is as truthful as truth gets. Too bad he didn’t have some type of financial, copyright, or other legal entanglement with the corporate structure. What a great hurrah if he could legally take the name “Exodus” with him in his departure.
