Episode 110 Aaron - Blind & closeted gay/atheist preacher's kid

Published: Aug. 4, 2016, 10:35 p.m.

Cass and Bob interview a young atheist, gay, blind man named Aaron. His father is a Wesleyan minister in North Carolina. His parents and two siblings, all Christian, do not know he\u2019s gay or atheist. At 20 years of age and being blind, he lives at home and his only connection with people that truly know him and accept him is online.\xa0 He\u2019s currently in college; he\u2019s a computer programmer. At no point does Aaron exude any sense of self-pity. In fact, he\u2019s quite chipper. He does, however, help us reap the benefit of better understanding his experience. If you\u2019d like to reach out and connect with Aaron, I\u2019m sure it would life his spirits. His email is pretty simple: aaron@atheist.com. \xa0Also, if you\u2019re wondering how I blind person discovers they\u2019re gay\u2014in a culture driven by looks\u2014we talk about that. Bear with us through the first 3 minutes of the interview; we had some audio problems but it gets better after that.
