CHERRY VALLEY, ARKANSAS, USA, February 13, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Controversial Valentines Guest-Gay Christian author Brandon WallaceFormer Minister Brandon Wallace Unmasks the Truth about Being a Gay Christian
Instant Gay Christian Guest: Brandon Wallace, author of the new book Straight-Face, about his real life struggles reconciling his faith and his sexuality in the Deep South.
Young Brandon Wallace, raised in conservative Mike Huckabee era Arkansas, spent his entire life trying to hide behind a mask. Growing up, he knew only two things about himself: God was calling him to serve in the ministry...and he was attracted to the same sex. Afraid that coming out would destroy his reputation, livelihood, and ministry, Brandon hid his sexual identity in hopes of finding love and acceptance. However, God would take him on a journey he never expected. Straight-Face is the memoir of that long and profound journey from hiding behind a mask to living an authentic life; from running from himself to accepting his orientation and ultimately his faith. Straight-Face is a story about life, love, and reconciling the unique beauty of both in a world that is slowly, but surely learning to do the same.
Ask Brandon Wallace about:
Why he decided to go public with his homosexuality so publicly, release a book about his journey and leave the ministry to become a public school teacher?
What Valentine's Day means to someone in the closet?
How Brandon found acceptance from God, his church community, and himself…or did he?
How he reconciles what the Bible says about homosexuality and his own Christian belief?
His experience coming out in his ultra conservative Arkansas hometown.
His advice for people considering coming out, and their family and friends.
