My boyish innocence was stolen by a sexual predator, and I kept the soul-gnawing secret for decades. That experience changed me. Growing up in 1950's England, I couldn't discuss my sexual identity issues with anyone. Feeling isolated and confused, I turned my back on the father who misunderstood me, and the religion that failed me. Later, as I lost friends to AIDS and suicide, I became more determined than ever to live by faith and not by feeling.
