Bowker Biography:
Jan Liebegott
I was born in Queens, New York on 4/22/46. My Parents met at Church. Dad was the organist and Mom was in the Choir. My brother and I were raised in the ways of the Lord.
In 1955 my family moved from Queens to Shoreham, on the North shore of Eastern Long Island. When I was fourteen I wanted to become a minister, but the Lutheran Church did not ordain women ministers at that time. Though disappointed, I was not going to let an ignorant rule stop me from serving my Lord. I’d find another way.
However, in 1973 I realized I was a lesbian. I was tormented. How could I be a Christian, serve the Lord and be an active lesbian? The Bible said homosexuals were doomed to Hell.
In 1976 I was married to a wonderful woman, in a ceremony in our home, by a Unitarian minister who was years ahead of our society. Our sixteen year marriage ultimately failed, but we remain friends to this day. Since then I have lived alone in central Long Island where I work as a bookkeeper during the day and stay active in gay issues.
I have dedicated my life to my Lord and in recent years focused on helping gays/lesbians know that they are loved by God and heirs to His Kingdom. My book, “Is God a Gay Basher” takes the reader on my journey through life and shows how to find peace with God, just as you are: gay.

The subsequent time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I do know it was my choice to read, however I actually thought youd have one thing fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could possibly repair should you werent too busy looking for attention.

Could not delete this comment for it is so typical of the Neanderthal thinking of some and this commentor was too cowardly to give his real email so that I could contact him. What I say in my posts (and in my autobiography) is not something easily repaired, as gay people can testify. Whining and looking for attention? Hardly! Gay people are NOT doing this. I and those like me, are trying to educate naive, tunnel vision people who are so afraid of the gay community. We just want to live in peace. So, what’s to fear. Perhaps you’re own insecurities.
