'''Daniel Mattson''' once believed he was [[gay]] yet he found himself bereft until he turned to [[Christ]] and accepted his true [[personal identity|identity]] as a man. By reclaiming his sexual reality, he found peace and a ministry to others with [[same-sex attraction]] ('''SSA'''). Now is considered to be a gifted writer and poet, an inspirational [[evangelist]] and an ambassador for [[Christ]]. Dan is a longtime member of [[Courage (apostolate)|Courage]], a world-wide [[Catholic]] apostolate ministering to persons with SSA.<ref name="LifeSiteNews12062017">{{cite web |title=‘Why I Don’t Call Myself Gay’: A same-sex-attracted Catholic tells his story |publisher=LifeSiteNews |date=12 Jun 2017 |url=https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/why-i-dont-call-myself-gay-a-same-sex-attracted-catholic-tells-his-story |quote=His book, beginning with its title, would appear to be his “charitable challenge” to the infiltration of foreign ideologies into the Church.
