““As a gay man, the Church oppressed me and I walked willingly into its repressive and controlling arms. As a gay man, I willingly lied about who I was to everyone to be accepted and fit in. As a gay man studying for priesthood, I tried to bury my sexuality in the shrouds of celibacy and holiness, hoping it would be enough.””
