But we still have not forgotten Forgiveness is a four-letter word. That’s what many of us who have suffered anti-gay bias will say: Don’t talk to us about not having hard feelings.
No ill will, no bitterness? No way! And who could blame us for our resentment? The job we lusted after and were qualified for went to a straight person.
The apartment we pictured ourselves and our girlfriend in went to a mixed couple. And those probing questions about our personal lives?
We all experienced it. But I believe it’s now time for forgiveness. That’s the focus of my book, Forgiveness: A Gay Man’s Memoir.
