Defeated, discouraged, or confused by feelings that seem to tell you who you must be and what you must do? There’s a different way forward. Life opens up when you treat attractions as experiences—rich data points—rather than definitions that box you in.
Attractions Are Experiences, Not Definitions
Attractions rise and fall, intensify and fade. They can inform values, relationships, and choices, but they don’t have to dictate identity. Men who experience same-sex attraction deserve a space to honor their story, define their commitments, and move with integrity toward a life that feels purposeful and possible.
