For me this is painful.

I became a born again christian in my first year at University. I thought I’d found god…

Of course there was slight problem. I knew I was gay, and wondered what to do about it.

Nothing seemed to work, whatever I did, I was always gay.

Then it blew up in my face, and an incident occured at University. Shortly afterwards I walked away unable to reconcile what happened and being gay. I just wanted it all to go away and leave me alone.

Eight years later, I had the opportunity to sit down with a therapist and discuss what happened. She helped me through it, and I found an answer that made sense.

I stopped fighting being gay and came out.

My therapist was paid for by the company I worked for, who believed in gay rights. The company closed a long time ago, but they were called Digital Equipment Co. Ltd, a branch of Digital in the UK.
