Labels.

I wanted to be candid for a moment here, and talk about something I don't talk about too much: my sexual orientation.

I came out a few years ago due to necessity- I was harassed relentlessly and forced out.
You see, I was minding my own business.

While people may have had suspicions that I may have been bisexual, no one ever had any proof.

Once I was labeled and outed, there was no turning back.

And this is the point: I could be your neighbor, your friend from school, or a fellow church member.

Your doctor, pastor, or teammate.

I could have been living my life, and no one would have been any the wiser.

Why don't I  wear rainbow colors?
It implies that I am shameless about this type of behavior.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit and much support from my significant others, behavior modification is possible when done right.

To imply that you can change someone's inborn trait of sexual orientation is nothing but foolishness, but due to being bisexual, it makes it a bit easier when it comes to behavior modification.

Remember, I didn't label myself.
It was placed upon me.

I urge you to follow this example and conduct yourself in such a manner.

I was labeled so that you don't have to be.

A sin-bearer and mediator of a new covenant.
