Thank you, Joe Forrest for this fact-packed article. So well and clearly done. Right now in the Medium publication Prism & Pen, which exists to amplify LGBTQ voices, we are in the middle of a two-week prompt asking queer Christian writers to share their positive and negative experiences of pressure, whether it’s from other Christians, other queer people, or from both “sides” at once.
Mike Rosebush, PhD has written a story about his own experiences as a counselor for Exodus International and Narth, which I think might interest you.
He is undoubtedly one of those gay, Evangelical Christian men who overturn or subvert traditionalist paradigms, but who very few conservative Christians seem interested in knowing personally.
So please allow me to facilitate a little networking here. You two should meet.
Jim
