I think it's different for everyone. For me, it's getting all the jumbled thoughts and feelings out of my head, organizing them on paper and connecting with other human beings who have the same thoughts and feelings.

It's what my therapist told me when I was on the verge of writing Going Gay, "If you're going to follow your passion, you've got to let go of the little things that keep you from pursuing it."

I was part of the ex-gay movement of the 1990s and I saw the damage done in the lives of many people, including my own. It was a story that needed to be told to bridge the gap between the right and the left on the issue of homosexuality.
