After my Bloggingheads discussion on gay marriage and related matters with Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern, a student at a prominent Evangelical college wrote me asking for advice. She said her campus has been riven by the homosexuality debate and she’s found herself challenged to address it in a faithful, thoughtful manner. In lieu of advice, I wrote to her about my own experience as an undergraduate at a time when the campus consensus was all but defined by the issue. It was a moment when everyone was supposed to evolve—and I did—just not in the way everyone wanted me to.
