Boy, I can sure relate with not having a date while in college. It was tough! Well, actually, I did have one date with a girl. She kissed me in the parking lot at the end of our date. LOL, had she not done that, I probably could have gone out with her again, but her kissing me kinda accelerated the disinterest. Other than that, I didn't date in college because I wasn't out and I still thought it was wrong at the time.

Thank God for reconciling the colliding worlds!

I think it's great that you are out as a school teacher. For the kids, you can show that their "favorite" teacher is cool and if he's gay then it's not cool to say gay jokes or call people slurs. It's simply not tolerated and it causes the kids to have to see hurtful things like that up front and in their face where they have to take responsibility for how it affects people they know. Hopefully for the parents and your colleagues, they can see that a gay teacher is nothing to be scared of - of anything, that you're an awesome teacher.

I'm excited for the next chapters (or rather, song sheets) of your journey as you pursue the gift and calling that God has for you in music outside of the classroom.

Thanks for sharing your story!
