Now Testament: Don Mueller

I grew up in Los Angeles, Southern California. Not wealthy, but okay. My father worked at carpentry. He made cabinets and dressers and other similar things. I grew up with both my mother and father, and one sister who is two years younger than me. Also, a dog that was a pain in the butt.

I grew up in church. My family was involved in a very traditional, very conservative evangelical church. We lived and breathed church – at least three to four times a week. Sometimes we would go to church on Sunday mornings, Sunday nights, a bible study on a Wednesday, socials on Fridays. I lived in the church.

I grew up being taught that it is a sin being gay.
