In my ongoing discussion to learn and empathize with different people, I have a conversation this week with Mike Morton, a member of the LGTBQ community and a Christian. Mike and I discuss his life growing up in the church and his life learning about his own sexuality and how he tries everyday to live through Jesus Christ as a gay man. Mike's husband is the pastor of their church and they both understand by just being themselves, they are angering and certain group of people in America. This is such a delightful conversation and I hope everyone has a chance to enjoy it.
