Passing thought
The thing that really gets me, when I'm enough of an idiot to watch ex-gay Youtube videos, is how the narratives of how they became not-gay rarely, if ever, mention their former relationships. I always wonder what it's like on the other side of that-- who were you dating? What was the relationship like? What did you see in them and they see in you? How did that last conversation with them go? How did they act or feel when you told them? What did they say? What did you feel when you told them?
It's an odd thing to notice, out of all the things I could see in those videos. But it feels like there's a story that's been erased and I keep wanting to mark up that blank space with a big red pen that says "HERE THERE BE MONSTERS" or something, if you'll forgive the stretched metaphor.
