In reply to: Brody 👨‍🎤🏳️‍🌈 with Jay to Lucas 's message, "Re: probably possible idea for Brody" on 17:15:30 02/19/26 Thu

Dear Brody,

I am neither Catholic nor gay, so I have no right to offer advice, which may be terribly wrong, but I'm doing so mainly to allay my own feelings that doing nothing would make me feel bad for a long time to come. Take that into consideration and if you continue reading take what I have to say with a large grain of salt. Maybe have your brother, Jay, read this and advise you before reading on.

You need professional help. By that I don't mean doctors, psychologists, school counselors or the like. You need help in knowing what the Catholic church rules are. Like an accused needs a lawyer to let him know what the law is. That means a priest. Can you go to confession before you are confirmed? If so do so, tell the priest everything and ask him if you can still go to confirmation and how. If he says no, or if you already know that the answer is no, then ask the priest what to do. You have already stated that you want the world to know, so start there.

Now I tread on even shakier ground: My own ideas about God are that he doesn't think the worse about us for our thoughts, the kind that come to us unbidden. If he does than I am doomed because I have had some really bad ones. When Jaws, Jr. bit me I wanted to beat him up, maybe kill him. Of course I didn't act on that thought; I'd already instinctly thrown him to the floor where he hit his head. I've had some dreams where I did some really bad things. I woke up from them horrified that my brain would conjure up something like that. I have no control over what I dream. Certainly God can't send me to hell for what I have no control over. Only my mom can do that, her version of hell anyway, the kind where the lexan paddle rules. Ask the priest if I am right. Maybe you can be a good Catholic if you don't act on your thoughts. Not a pleasant prospect for the rest of your life, but what is worse?

In any case, I wish you all the best and hope with all my heart that you find peace. God be with you!

-Jerry
