Bishop Jim Swilley:

Why would a man like me, who has nothing to gain and everything to lose, stand up one day and say "Hey, I want to tell everyone that I'm gay" if it weren't true? Why would I jeopardize everything that I've worked so hard to build for my entire life? If people would just think about it, it's illogical to think that people would make it up or even to choose to be this way if it were a choice?

Bishop Jim Swilley:

With every credible person that continues to come out, surely people will begin to realize that this isn't a fad. It's just people telling who they are.
