      When I read this article, all I could think was ... this guy needs to read @VinesMatthew book.http://www.npr.org/2015/01/04/374857829/a-pastor-moves-past-his-attraction-to-men-and-so-does-his-wife …

      I'm not understanding this story. Is he saying he's bi, and chose to marry a woman? http://www.npr.org/2015/01/04/374857829/a-pastor-moves-past-his-attraction-to-men-and-so-does-his-wife … (via @sirclinksalot)

      Or are they saying they have a formal, on-the-record marriage of convenience? Or is he saying he's now straight? The story doesn't answer.

          @chrisgeidner I think it is clear he is attracted to men and not to women but is married to a woman because he'd go to hell for loving a man

          @BroderickGreer But it suggests he *is* attracted to her, at least somewhat and in some ways.

          @chrisgeidner that's evangelical code for they had sex even though he isn't attracted to women.

          @BroderickGreer Fair. He can use "magic words." A reporter shouldn't.

          @chrisgeidner @BroderickGreer gotta disagree that it's just evangelical code. I know plenty of people who have had similar experiences

          @DVanLierEsq @BroderickGreer It can be both code *and* something that does actually happen. Again, tho, the article shouldn't make us guess.

          @chrisgeidner What's it called when you have to force YOURSELF to have sex with someone? In 5 yrs we will read about their separation.

          @chrisgeidner based on his use of the magic phrase "same sex attraction" I assume he would dispute the very categories "gay" and "straight"

          @chrisgeidner Marriage of convenience. He DOES care for her, but not in the way he would love a man if he didn't hold back. His best gal pal

          @chrisgeidner Probably because he doesn't want to answer it because that would mean admitting something. $10 that someone else can answer it

          @chrisgeidner I'm forever fascinated by how gendered this whole discourse -- attracted but not acting on it -- is.

          @chrisgeidner I think "drawn to her heart and soul" etc. suggests more than a "marriage of convenience"

          @chrisgeidner I understood it as he is gay, is not attracted to women, she knows it and both "admire" him for choosing to act otherwise?

          @chrisgeidner I read it differently. He said his belief in God won't allow him to pursue men. He says ALL relationships require restraint.
