Why can’t I be both led by Holy Spirit and queer? Why can’t I be an amazing teacher and gay? Why can’t I be a strong man and love a man? Why can’t I walk in God’s divine will for my life and also have a boyfriend? Why can I be an amazing teacher until I put up a pride flag? Why can you trust your children in my care until a rainbow banner is posted by my desk? Where do these opposing ideas come from? It seems as though the ONLY thing in the way of all of these dichotomies becoming one, is the fact that people just believe they can’t. There’s no real opposition. There’s no real obstacle. There’s actually NOTHING in the way between these realities, other than the belief that they can’t go together. It’s a mental confrontation. There truly is NOTHING hindering these realities from existing in tandem other than people telling me that they can’t. 

Fuck that. 

I am both led by God’s Spirit and queer. I am an amazing teacher who is gay. I am a STRONG man and I love a man very deeply. I AM walking in God’s divine plan and favor for my life while also having a boyfriend. I am an amazing teacher, pride flag or not. I hear from God. I see God in my life. He is real. I see his road for me and I say YES!
