Bio
My name is Nathan; you can call me Nate if you like. I'm turning 30 this year, I am a follower of Jesus who happens to be gay. I'm a P.R. professional and a freelance writer and journalist. I live in Oklahoma. I have an awesome husband, a pretty cool dog, and an awesome supporting cast. I have written for gaychristian.net, the Oklahoma Gazette, and last year appeared in the UK book "Cringe: Toe-Curlingly Embarassing Teenage Diaries, Letters and Bad Poetry" edited by Sarah Brown. I have a personal website but when I decided to get back into writing more personal essay/spiritual type pieces I chose Open Salon.

“Okay,” he said.

“I have to tell you that I sorta hate weddings.”

“Not all weddings,” I said. “I’ve enjoyed all our friends’ we… Read full post »

The Loop

If you want to see hypocrisy in action, just catch me behind the wheel of a car. I’m like a maniac. A maniac who drives like a little old lady and gets really, really self-righteous about it. I don’t speed, I don’t cut people off in traffic, and I don’t do… Read full post »

Welcome! (Back).

It has been almost three years since I last wrote an essay about my life as a gay Christian; for four years I had a column at the web’s best resource for gay Christians - gaychristian.net. Now I’m here at Open Salon; frankly this is because here, I can use the… Read full post »
