When Brock Ford’s strict Southern Baptist grandparents found out he was gay, his own family members broke into his home and assaulted him with a Bible. He left town afraid for his life and started over in Dallas, slowly working through the hurt and shame. After 30 years, he’s following his call to ministry and hopes his story will inspire families to ask questions and seek understanding rather than revert to violence.
“It’s okay not to think it’s okay. Show compassion to yourself.” ~Brock Ford
