Aliya Leigh - A Gay Jehovah's Witness

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Phoenix, Arizona, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 29, 2010 -- Aliya Leigh gave a interview about God and her sexuality. As a child, she was raised a Jehovah's Witness, but knew she was gay. Knowing this, she tried to commit suicide because she knew her sexuality was a sickness in God's eyes.

For years, she denied her sexuality and tried to obey her bible principals. During these years, she felt like a zombie walking in society. With the help from friends, she was able to accept herself and her sexuality - the way God made her.

In the interview, she mentions how she came out to her parents and the consequences she suffered from them and her childhood religion.

Aliya Leigh is a spokesperson for teenagers who are part of the GLBT community and tries to help them in anyway she can. She knows what they are going through and doesn't want them to suffer like she did as a teenager.

The article will be featured in the January 6 edition of Echo Magazine.
