Thank you for recruiting me! I'm very excited to be a part of this group! So is Uma! ;)
I'm an ex-straight. I was indoctrinated for years by the church denying my sexuality. I was encouraged to take a male husband, perpetuating the sexual abuse that had plagued me from childhood, all in the name of Christ. I was finally healed from the need to please men sexually and freed to become who I am, an out and proud lesbian. I don't know of any ex-straight groups, hopefully I'll be allowed to join here? :))

I remember when I started college, I still believed that something was wrong with me for being gay. My parents actually sent me to counselors from NARTH.... whom they had a personal reccomendation from by Joseph Nicolosi. Anywho....It wasn't until I was on the Equality Ride last year that I became fully ok with being out and gay. I finally felt like I was around a group of people who had absolutely no qualms about being completely authentic about their sexuality. I believed excuses and justifications for so long.... and now I'm happy to say that I have never loved myself more fully, authentically, and completely. Im glad that we all have this forum to talk about our experiences.
