00:00I have buried more suicides in this community.

00:05When she first came out to me, I wished she were dead.

00:09I would rather she be dead than gay.

00:12That's how deeply ingrained it was in me of how sinful it was.

00:20I have grown up in a fundamentalist Christian church

00:24where gay people were, you know, the evil people out there.

00:28I was pretty angry at God.

00:30I felt betrayed by Him for having these homosexual feelings.

00:34The Christian Coalition decided to put the name of every young person

00:37who was found in a park suspected of being homosexual in the paper.

00:40Benny Hogan saw his name. They fired him. His family rejected him.

00:44Then he hung himself. That's the consequence of sin.

00:47They never once think, that's the consequence of my rhetoric

00:51towards that person condemning him.

00:53They never make the connection.

00:55Why would I choose to be gay?

00:57In nature, there's a natural variety.

00:59Most of the world's right-handed, but you have people who are left-handed.

01:02Who in their right mind would choose something that would invite

01:05hatred and rejection and misunderstanding?

01:08We have no rights and everyone hates us.

01:10Please come along and join us.

01:12Live in my personal hell with Madonna.

01:14I just want to be able to have the life that I would have had

01:18before you started taking things away from me because I was gay.

01:23What's it like to be gay?

01:25God created all people with worth and dignity.

01:28Anybody can be discriminated against for anything.

01:31Gender. Color of skin.

01:33What's it going to take for things to change?

01:36Knowing who God is, how would he ever condemn people to help

01:41just because of who they are?

01:43God loves everybody.
