I don’t want to put the church on a pedestal given the pain it’s caused so many. In several paintings depicting his death, his eyes are rolled back in what looks like pleasure: a clear nod, for some, to sadomasochism. They were one of the strangest items I owned, not because of their appearance, but because of their function. So, the gloves stayed.

Though I didn’t feel a spiritual connection to the church, I secretly loved going — even after I quit.
He gives me a new outlook on my childhood self — and a more understanding one, too.

Sarah Ratchford is a writer in Menahqesk (Saint John), N.B.
Guy Sebastian's feeling towards religion changed due to gay friend's fear towards church
"He moved countries, he was that scared about the whole religious thing because he was brought up in the church.
It will also be his next single from the sixth album.
Guy Sebastian attended and was a lead singer in Paradise Community Church's youth conference Planetshakers when he won the Australian Idol in November 2003, and since then was regarded by many as the poster boy for Christianity.

But I was surprised to learn that the queer community has claimed him for about 200 years.Some in his queer cult even go so far as to call him the patron saint of the gays.
This kind of history within the church was unheard of to me when I was growing up in small-town Atlantic Canada in the 1990s.
Until a few years ago, I kept a pair of lightweight robin’s-egg-blue gloves in a box inside my closet. Why couldn’t women preach? Growing up, I was always picking fights with my family. Diocletian had him beaten to death after the original method — being pierced with arrows — failed to do the job.
Though Sebastian is thought to have been middle-aged when he died, famous painters from Botticelli to Giovanni Domenico Cerrini morphed him back into a muscular young man (my personal favourite is Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian by Piero del Pollaiuolo).
My general unwillingness to go to mass became a sticking point in the family, but dodging mass at Christmas and Easter verged on a level of Satanic even I was uncomfortable with. Others have read the details of his life as a coming-out story in which he was persecuted for his queerness.
More on Broadview:
Officially, Sebastian is the patron saint of athletes and archers, and a protector against plague.
But I base it on the fact God is love. I don't know if there's only one God, I don't know if there's a God, I just have a faith that there is. As I got older, while my family was singing songs about the Lord, I used the hour to think about sex.
As a child, I knew I was queer, even if I didn’t have the words for it. That's what I've grown up with.
But the minute it starts to become about hate, I switch off."
In his latest album Armageddon, his new song 'Get Along' expresses his hope towards interreligious harmony, with the verse: "When all the worlds collide, all they know is to divide, and it's easier if they're faceless to hate the other side, and the others caught between, are the only ones to bleed" and the chorus: "Dear God, dear soul, dear Mary, Mohammed, can we all just get along?"
Sebastian has told the Daily Telegraph that this is the song that he's most proud of writing, and will get attention.
I’m also non-binary and never felt like I fit in on the gender spectrum.
Last year, by chance, I discovered St. Sebastian, Christian history’s first gay icon.
Though it’s not known when exactly Sebastian was canonized, we do know that he was a Roman soldier serving under pagan emperor Diocletian. Why couldn’t priests get married?
In 288 AD, Sebastian was sentenced to death for being Christian and converting others to Christianity. I didn’t agree with the premise or politics, so I stopped going just after confirmation at the age of 14.
