  In first-person magazine story, Operation Rescue founder's son says he is gay
  (04-22) 16:09 PDT CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) --

  
  

  The son of Christian activist Randall Terry, known for his strident opposition to abortion and homosexuality, says he is gay.
  

  In an article in the May issue of Out magazine Jamiel Terry, 24, says he first realized he was gay when a male friend with whom he'd been intimate asked if they were gay or bisexual.
  

  "I didn't know how to respond," he writes. "I mean, we had been having sex for ages, but I'd always believed I couldn't be gay:"
  

  Randall Terry published his own essay, "My prodigal son, the homosexual," writing his son "sold out our family's privacy and private discussions for cold cash."
  

  Jamiel Terry is the son of a woman whom the elder Terry talked out of having an abortion.
