Everybody’s got a story. Some are very extraordinary stories. It might be a good for somebody to look into theirs, because a story is the shortest distance between two people.

This story is the first in our series about identity and acceptance in West Michigan’s LGBT community.
Rachel Gleason spent much of youth at her church; worshipping, studying, singing, babysitting.
The church was her life.
But that began to change when Rachel started to understand who she really was.
