Borealis
I deal with same-sex attraction. You can call me “gay” or a “homo” or a “moho”, and it won’t offend me, but honestly, none of those labels feel like they fit. Most of the time, I think of myself as slightly bent. I also dislike being described as “struggling” with same-sex attraction. While it can be a struggle at times, most of the time, there are five or ten other things in my life that are a much bigger struggle for me. I don’t believe God intended us to be in a state of constant warfare with our inner natures. The scriptures say, “bridle your passions,” not to eradicate them. I have an academic background in biology, chemistry, and psychology. My interest continues in those subjects, but being insatiably curious and a voracious reader, I also have interest in history, literature, and of course religion. I am married to a beautiful woman I’ll refer to as Aurora.
Mark North
As a child, Mark was your typical SSA boy: he played with dolls, was the only boy invited to girls’ birthday parties, and was pleasant and polite. As a teenager, Mark realized that all of his talents and interests marked him as a typical SSA teen. In an effort to avert attention from himself, he attempted to remove all traces of SSA -ness from his personality. As a result, he lost those positive qualities of the SSA stereotype (gentle, friendly, creative, and a good eye for fashion) and ended up adopting a bunch of undesirable traits instead (such as grumpy, rude, and dull). As an adult, Mark has learned to come to terms with his SSA, and is a much happier person. His wife might even state that he’s not nearly as rude as he used to be, though his students would claim that he is almost just as grumpy. However, he is still dull.
