“So, what would you do if your children were gay?” The Star asked him. I also love my children and I can never think of telling them that their father, whom they look up to and love, is gay," he says. “We have not had sex in years, but I cannot leave her. Morris believes that she would find it difficult to confront that reality as she strongly condemns any hint of homosexuality in the church. He says his wife has her suspicions especially since she often asks him why most of his phone conversations are with men. He says he cannot socialise much because he does not want people to know his secret. The only people who know are those I have met along this walk or people I have had gay affairs with some even in the church." His sexuality, however, has remained a closely guarded secret. I was teaching the congregation about the abomination of a man sleeping with another man. Like any responsible father, he says he loves his children unreservedly and that his sexuality has not in any way affected his relationship with them.īut the guilt of living a lie was so overwhelming that Morris decided to leave the church. And 20 years and four children later, Morris is still married - and still gay.
