Hello Mathew,
To be honest, i don't even know why i am on this website....but then again, who am i to judge? my dad was in jail a few times, almost my whole family. I feel deeply for you because i am straight but support the gay/lesbian/bi/transgender community. I can understand where you are coming from being someone who believes in god but i am not too religious. I know what the bible says but the lord is also very loving and excepting, please don't be ashamed to be who you are. Some people say they were born this way and some say it just happened. If the lord is truly perfect then he does not make mistakes, and he did not make a mistake in creating you. At first i hated people for being gay, but once i found out thousands of gay people kill themselves everyday over this- it just seems wrong to think that way now. Everyone is human and should be treated like one. People should not judge because they do not know what the other has been through. People won't except you for who you are until you yourself does. And you are not alone, millions of people go through this whether they share their problem with you are not. I hope i was able to ease your pain and when you feel lonely i hope you remember the many millions of people who are going through the same thing like you, be strong for them and they will be strong for you.

Dear Mathew:
Reading your blog almost brought tears to my eyes because I have been in a similar situation. I was released from a state prison in Pennylvania a few weeks ago after serving a little over 7 years. While in prison I kept my identity secret but it was hard, so I understand. The thing is God made all of us. He created us in his image, right? So for any Christian to say that your sexual orientation is a sin then they are basically saying that God is imperfect, which He is not. God don't make mistakes and you are not a mistake. You don't need to be a part of that Christian Community. I know in prison most men clique up to have strength in numbers but God loves us all and hears our prayer whether it's one person praying or a group. I'm not sure if you are aware of an organization called Black & Pink. They have helped me through some hard times And am sure they will welcome you with open arms. Here is their address: Black & Pink, Community Church of Boston, 565 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116. Reemember I LOVE YOU and once I am out of this halfwayhouse I will write directly to you. Just hang in their brother. LOVE WILLIAM.
