In their only talk about sex, Barnes said his father took him on a drive and talked about what he would do if a “fag” approached him.

Barnes thought, “‘Is that how you’d feel about me?’ It was like a knife in my heart, and it made me feel even more closed…”

Barnes expressed hope for a future where one can “be who you are” and be accepted and loved in the Christian community and also spoke about “separating some of the teachings from Scripture” from Jesus Christ.

Palmer said he wasn’t sure what Barnes meant, but Barnes told him that he believes God views homosexuality as a sin.

He may believe it, but my long-distance diagnosis is that he’s beginning a process at the end of which he’ll realize how wrong his belief has been.

Barnes is not perfect, but unlike Haggard, he hasn’t spent his career railing against “the gay agenda.” Maybe there’s hope for him yet.
