I signed in to BTB to check your blog because I haven't heard from you since early May and I've been worried. Imagine my surprise to see this letter to me! I did receive an envelope labeled #219 but it contained only a copy of your formal complaint. The letter must have somehow ended up getting mailed to BTB instead of me. Fate is a funny thing though, because it ended up reaching me anyway: )
I've been mailing you weekly letters but I have no idea if they are reaching you, or why your mail to me has stopped. Last week I sent you paper, envelopes and stamps. I heard from Crystal and she said you needed them. She sent some too, and your mom was planning to as well. I have been in touch with your mom. She's a great lady and misses you fiercely. She's been getting more mail than me, but a few of her letters have gone missing as well.
Anyway, this letter #219 written in May was the last piece of mail I received from you. I miss you and hope you are well. Please take care of yourself and know that I'm thinking of you and looking forward to your next letter so write again soon. I love you my friend!
Donny: This is William. U wrote me at SCI Frackville and shared a story with me. I told you that I was gonna write back when I got out and I did. I even sent you a few short stories but you never replied. What is up with 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.
Thank God you are locked up and unable to vote! You have so much to learn. I hope and pray you don't have children because God forbid they turn out to be homosexual and have to hear you condemning them their whole life. Until you can walk in ones shoes, who are you to judge?!
You have no idea what you are talking about... so what AIDS epidemic only applies to homosexuals? Heterosexuals are applicable too. Looks like you need to study more than the just the bible where you are supposedly getting these scriptures from.
I don't know what God you believe in, but the real the God doesn't judge. HE loves loves all and gave HIS son for our sins. We were not made perfect yet HE did make us this way REGARDLESS of what you may think.
Hopefully you are a felon, so we won't have to worry about you ever being able to vote against what homosexuals deserve - THE SAME RIGHTS AS EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING!
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.
