yASSsss 35,510 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Lady Gaga in her song "Born This Way" belts these lines: "I'm beautiful in my way; 'Cause God makes no mistakes; I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way." These lyrics remind me of a very personal and life-altering experience with my best friend in college. We were inseparable, rummaging through record stores, browsing Goodwill locations for cheap clothes, sharing laughs in the dorm and debating politics. He was like a brother to me, and I felt deep sadness when he and I went separate ways, me to law school and him to a doctoral program in clinical psychology. He was the son of a Baptist preacher, a talented piano player with a quick wit and big heart. We would joke about who had the quickest draw on Bible drills. (Southern Baptists know what I mean.) He was raised right by loving parents with strong Christian values. Our common childhood experiences, no doubt, forged a strong bond between us. A few years later, my college buddy invited me to visit him before he completed his doctorate. I did, and we shared old stories and laughed well into the night. Then, to my surprise, he became very serious and announced he had something to tell me. Quietly and earnestly, he said, "I've been hiding a secret all my life. I pray you will remain my friend no matter what I'm about to tell you. I'm gay." I had classic, naive responses, something like, "Say what, bro? That's a joke, right? Come on, dude!"
