The Importance of Understanding Yourself

As a gay person it meant that you had to hide that part of yourself and so I did some searching around. The Episcopal Church was quite involved on the social level St. John the Divine here in New York City they used to do a lot of social activism pieces especially around civil rights Martin Luther King came Nelson Mandela came there was a protest about acid rain. It's very easy for me to sit on the stage and say oh those poor people over there and not have a sense as to what they're really going through or do you get into boat we get in a boat with them.
