“At first, I tried not to be gay. But due to the variety of factors I have already explained, my sexual desires were directed toward men. My decision to act on this was, of course, a choice, but without being indwell by the Holy Spirit, that choice seemed uncontrollable. In other words, it felt completely natural for me to pursue sexual relations with men. As the American poet Emily Dickinson put it, “The heart wants what it wants.”
