Brian Kraemer's Radio Interview on Being Gay and Christian

Background by Brian Kraemer:

"I 'came out' as gay in 1981, but in 1984, became a "born-again" Christian and decided it was a sin to be gay. For sixteen years, I lived a celibate lifestyle, went through ex-gay ministries, prayed daily, went through two exorcisms, read all the ex-gay books available at the time, and nearly married a woman with whom I was not in love. Finally, in 2000, I came to accept myself as gay again and 'came out' a second time.

"I was recently interviewed on conservative Christian radio station KKXX (Chico, CA) over a three day period, being asked to tell my story and then debate with a local minister, an Anglican priest named Father Peter Hansen."
