Thank you for watching this video. It is always vulnerable sharing personal details of my life on a public platform but it is especially intimidating sharing things related to my family because I want to protect them and I anticipate getting weird comments either related to the topic of homosexuality or the topic of Christianity. Both tend to be polarizing and the internet is a strange place where people act like it is okay to be mean, though it is unlikely they would actually say anything at all in real life. After filming this video earlier in the week I had a few anxious nights where I considered not posting it at all because I feared what kind of response it would get. I also realized there is a lot more I would love to share but didn't have time. Maybe I can put more details in a second video. I suppose it depends on how much you guys care about this topic.

In the video I said that my parents separated in the 3rd grade, which is true-ish, but my other mom was in my life since the 1st grade. So for me she has been a maternal figure since I was 6 or 7 years old and my younger sister was 4. I am sharing that because sometimes people say I don't have full picture of being raised by two moms because I was "older" when my mom began living a gay lifestyle. I also have a dad because my mom was married to a man before she was with my other mom, and I have brothers because my other mom was married to a man before she began living as a homosexual. My moms are not my only gay family members, I have two aunts who are also lesbians and some distant cousins who are gay. I'm pretty sure one of my cousins is trans, though now that I am typing it I don't know if he is my real cousin or my half brothers cousin. I have a half brother too, who I did not mention in this video, but he is from my Dad's first marriage.

For those who are asking about my Christian beliefs and how they affect my view of my family or homosexuality in general here are some books, podcasts, videos and articles I have consumed in the last year. If we were alone over coffee and speaking from the heart I would invite you deeper into my story, but since this is public and not intimate I prefer to just share resources and allow you to form your own world-view. I hope more than anything that you take it upon yourself to love all people extravagantly. I can't think of a more Christ-like thing to do.
