ABSTRACT
Jay Wiesner was born in New Ulm, Minnesota, a rural community south of the Twin Cities. Jay lived there until he went to college. “At five I knew I was different. I didn’t feel right, but I had no clue. At puberty-when is that? Twelve or thirteen? I knew exactly who I was. But I wouldn’t admit it to others, and I wouldn’t admit it to myself. I prayed all the time for God to take it away.”
