Everybody I worked with knew. I would walk down the street with [her now-wife] Amber [Laign], and if somebody saw us, I would introduce her.
I wasn’t trying to hide but yet, I wasn’t ready to, to fully [come out]…And part of it is, and I’ve never said this before, part of it is because of my Christianity.I was afraid that people, they think you can’t be gay and a Christian.
And I am. I am and I was so fearful that I would be shunned. I received a letter, a beautiful letter from the National Office at the Presbyterian Church after I announced about Amber, fully supportive, fully supportive, and then I think about all those years I wasted, worried, needless worry.You know everything about me.
