Neste ensaio, publicado no blog No More Strangers, um adolescente m\u00f3rmon gay descreve suas lutas internas e seu relacionamento com a fam\u00edlia, seu bispo e seus amigos conforme ele se assumiu e come\u00e7ou a aceitar ser gay e m\u00f3rmon.<\/p>\n

Significativamente, respostas prontas s\u00f3 tornaram as coisas mais insuport\u00e1veis para ele:<\/p>\n

Apesar do apoio inabal\u00e1vel de meus pais, minha alma ficou envolta em trevas ... Fiquei t\u00e3o desinformado. Eu precisava de respostas e ningu\u00e9m tinha nenhuma. Fiquei apenas com \u201cDeus trabalha de maneiras misteriosas\u201d para me confortar e explicar por que meu mundo estava desmoronando enquanto outros nem mesmo sabiam o sabor da d\u00favida.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

O que ajudou foi dar-lhe espa\u00e7o e apoio para encontrar suas pr\u00f3prias respostas. Como ele foi capaz de buscar e encontrar respostas para si mesmo, ele come\u00e7ou a sentir paz e equil\u00edbrio:<\/p>\n

Portanto, n\u00e3o me encaixo t\u00e3o perfeitamente no plano dos sonhos M\u00f3rmon. Mas meu futuro mudou de solit\u00e1rio e triste para esperan\u00e7oso e brilhante quando percebi que ser eu mesmo era mais importante do que qualquer coisa. Ao encontrar paz dentro de mim, descobri que havia desenvolvido um sentimento avassalador de amor por todos ao meu redor. \u00c0s vezes, os jovens tamb\u00e9m passam por coisas dif\u00edceis. Nem todo mundo espera at\u00e9 a idade adulta para ter prova\u00e7\u00f5es que mudam sua vida e abalam a f\u00e9. Como eu poderia pensar coisas ruins de algu\u00e9m que n\u00e3o conhe\u00e7o? Eu n\u00e3o era simp\u00e1tico no meu ponto mais baixo, mas ainda precisava de amor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ele termina com a afirma\u00e7\u00e3o esperan\u00e7osa:<\/p>\n

Depois de aceitar isso dentro de mim, os problemas de auto-estima desapareceram. Aceitei minha religi\u00e3o. Percebi que nunca poderia deixar a igreja. Eu sou um m\u00f3rmon; ser gay n\u00e3o vai mudar isso. Eu sou gay; ser m\u00f3rmon n\u00e3o mudar\u00e1 isso. N\u00e3o sou um erro que Deus cometeu, ele me conhece e quer que eu seja feliz.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
