I read my Bible and I pray and all of that. I really do. But at the same time, I dont think being gay is a sin. Period.

I was on the cheerleading squad and drama and the choir, but I was friends with everybody. I was not a partier. I was too Type A and crazy about my grades, but I was still there at everything.

Norman, Okla. That's where my folks live, so it's home to me.
