Anthony Falzarano
HUSBAND, FATHER, FORMER HOMOSEXUAL
"I know what it's like to be rejected by the men I should have been
able to trust the most."
I was lonely and isolated as a child. My father was psychologically
absent, and my older brother would taunt me for being intelligent and
not very athletic. I wanted so much to be like him and his rejection was
hard to take. I was so desperate for male affirmation and touch that
when a school teacher showed me attention, I was easy prey. I was
sexually abused by at least four others by the time I hit 18...and while
I seemed happy on the outside, I was a hurting puppy on the inside. I
felt dirty andunattractive...and had no self-esteem. So when I went to
college, there were those who were ready to help this broken kid accept
a gay identity. And I bought it hook, line and sinker...I spent nine
years going from guy to guy looking for my "ideal" lover...until a
Christian man helped me see that I would never be satisfied in any life
outside of God's purpose for me. I got help from people who saw the hurt
on the inside, not the identity on the outside. So, don't buy the lie.
You don't have to be gay.
