When
lesbians and gays "come out" of their "closets" to
their friends and family, these have their own crises of faith to deal
with. We share some of these stories below. As you see, this is just a
beginning and most of these stories are from other Christians. We invite
you to share your own Adventist stories so we can publish them here. .
