Anne Paulk
FORMER LESBIAN
"As a lesbian, I found hurt people just wanting someone to
love. As a Christian, I found loving people just wanting to heal my
hurt."
I wasn't able to say a thing after a teenage boy approached me
sexually. Of course, at four years old you're afraid of getting in
trouble...so you go silent. But inside, the pain of that moment began to
grow louder. I became a tomboy. I didn't feel pretty or even lovable. I
craved special attention from my dad to make everything all right, but I
couldn't tell him why. I began to feel being feminine meant being weak
and vulnerable. I didn't know what to do with men...they just kept
hurting me, so I rejected them. Once in college, I pursued my growing
attraction for other women. But as a lesbian, I found most women were
paired out of emotional dependency rather than true love. That's why I
asked God to fill the void in my heart. He led me to warm, loving people
who helped me see the underlying needs that drove me into a lesbian
identity. If you're still looking for real love...and need to talk with
somebody who understands, start by asking God.
