If you look closely you can see a tall individual whose smile is soft with a hint of femininity but whose bone structure is fit for a male. His colors are forever brighter and his voice is strong and deep in a pleasant way for which he can't be forgotten.

As in any other case a catholic will seek the priests help to find peace in a troubling situation. So, he went to the person who had seen him grow throughout the years. The one who baptized him when he was only a few weeks old, the one who led him through his first communion, and the one who would now be a witness of his faith during his confirmation. He explained his gender nonconformity and how he had always interested in Barbie dolls and playing dress up but it didn’t stop there he explained that he was attracted to his same sex. The reaction he received scared him for life he was banished from a place where he always felt safe. The priest exclaimed, "these acts violate the natural law" and "falling for this unnatural temptation is a sin he could not overlook". As he broke down at his feet he made it clear with a firm voice, "'You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination […] If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them'". Such traumatic event changed his mentality to the point where he could not accept himself. All he could think of was being hated by his whole family and especially the person who he loved and admired God. Being shown such hatred by everyone in his church his faith in God was slowly ripped

    He understood how I could see religion as purely based on geography which, works for me but he has read scripture, studied for years and still came to the conclusion that a belief in God is true and right for him. He continued to elaborate that it is not for him to say other religions are wrong but the Episcopal Church's stances on inclusion, faith, culture and faith line up for him better than the other religions he has studied. This was a stand out moment for me as he did not attempt to berate my blasphemy but he informed me clearly that his faith is his and if I do not subscribe to his particular brand that is…

    “Let you not mistake your duty as I mistook my own. I came into this village like a bridegroom to his beloved, bearing gifts of high religion; the very crowns of holy law I brought, and what I touched with my bright confidence, it died; and where I turned the eye of my great faith, blood flowed up. Beware, Goody Proctor - cleave to no faith when faith brings blood. It is mistaken law that leads you to sacrifice. Life, woman, life is God's most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it. I beg you, woman, prevail upon your husband to confess. Let him give his lie. Quail not before God's judgement in this, for it may well be God damns a liar less than he that throws his life away for pride. Will you plead with him? I cannot think he will listen to another.”…
