This week, Nicole and Tara had the honor of speaking with Emmanuel "Manny"  Gonzalez, a young man who has been courageous enough to share his story and experience with same sex attraction (SSA). Manny was born and raised in Dallas, Texas to a devout Puerto Rican Catholic family and is one of seven children. He is currently a sophomore at Franciscan University of Steubenville, studying Clinical Psychology. He is fully dedicated to being a daily light of Christ's love to each and every soul he encounters. Manny hopes to one day be able to travel the world spreading the good news of the Church with teachings on homosexuality and chastity. He uses public platforms such as his YouTube channel and blog site, What A Beautiful Cross, to share his perspectives and life journey. His  testimony and overall love for Christ has already inspired and touched the hearts of many, having been featured with Catholic organizations such as Courage International and Theology Of the Body Evangelization Team.
