\u201cSTRUGGLING ALONE<\/a>\u201c<\/strong>\u2014First Things<\/em> pc about the author\u2019s friend, a same-sex attracted college student seeking to live out his Christian faith in chastity. You can get my thoughts on the psychological stuff discussed in the pc here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>; but the description of the near-total opposition and lack of support this guy faced on campus was really poignant, and is the reason I\u2019m linking to this. Sexual orientation is considered a fundamental fact of one\u2019s identity, whereas religious faith is mere clothing, something to be discarded or reshaped in light of one\u2019s sexual desires.<\/p>\n

Before I left New Haven, I tried to get Yale\u2019s guidebook for incoming freshmen to list the New Haven Courage chapter alongside its several \u201cgay-affirming\u201d resources. I left NH before I learned if I\u2019d succeeded for the 2001-2 school year, and even if I did, I\u2019d be shocked if that listing lasted into 2002-3.<\/p>\n
