“This truth is the most liberating, healing and life-giving thing! It’s what I deserve, and you, and all of us!” said the former priest
With a video entitled “Damn, promiscuity”, former priest Andreas Konanos revealed that he is gay.
The former priest, during the video, talked about the difficult years he spent hiding his sexuality.
“All this Love, Light and Connection. It is so wonderful to love the truth of your friend, and not just the window, the profile and the various camouflages he uses due to fear, shame and for reasons of social “survival”, said Andreas Konanos.
“This truth is the most liberating, healing and life-giving thing! It’s what I deserve, and you, and all of us! It is, I can say, our destination and mission! I explain the rest in detail in the video. Thank you! Andreas Konanos”.
In detail what Andreas Konanos wrote in the caption that accompanied the video
“It’s simple, even if it looks complicated. It is human, even if they call it monstrous. It is the truth of many people on our planet, even if some others call it an “anomaly”. It is what it is! That is, a reality that applies. And let everyone say their researched or fanatical opinion. Life does not fit into molds and boxes, however much this allows a “dignified” shot, saving us from the anxiety of existence and the bold risks that call for change and real “repentance” = change of mind.
Life is mysterious, unpredictable and beautiful in its infinite variety and diversity, without asking us if we agree with its “crazy” plans. Everything calls for a struggle for development and maturity, for acceptance and unity. Surely we all fit on this earth. Beneath her shell, the only sure thing. May our coexistence on its surface be filled with love, respect and harmony! It benefits us all!
I am grateful that the time has come to make this video, revealing – as honestly as I can – my personal truth! And it’s touching that, even after this revelation, there are still so many wonderful people around me, like you, who continue to love me and be in my life! This genuine soul connection and sincere friendship is one of the most beautiful things we can experience on this earth. To these people I address myself and thank them with all my heart.
Others – just as wonderful people as they are – have their own reasons for struggling. I understand and respect them. But don’t be afraid! They are not in danger! Life is short, just a few more decades. Let everyone go their own way, looking at themselves, focusing on what they love and hanging out with those they stick with and feel comfortable with. That’s what I’ve been doing for the last few years.
With this video, I know, I’m done! But that’s why everything that comes out between us, like a log, in the end, is both “completely beautiful” and completely true. All that Love, Light and Connection. It is so wonderful to love the truth of any friend you have, and not just the window, the profile, and the various camouflages they use out of fear, shame, and for social “survival” reasons. This truth is the most liberating, healing and life-giving thing! It’s what I deserve, and you, and all of us! It is, I can say, our destination and mission! I explain the rest in detail in the video. Thank you! Andreas Konanos”.
