SOME THINGS I HAVE LEARNED BY BEING GAY AND MORMON
SOME THINGS THAT I HAVE LEARNED One thing that I have learned is: although Gay people are born gay; when gays have gone through the process of: first denial, then self-loathing and other steps, and finally acceptances; then Gay people are ready to move on to healthy relationships. Another thing that I have learned is: that for relationships to work; each person in that relationship, must learn to deal with all the rejection from family, friends, the clergy, members of their church, and other so Read more [...]

Brother Selected For The “I’m A Mormon” Campaign
A couple months ago, the Mormon church decided to profile my brother for their Im A Mormon campaign. A camera crew came to his house for an interview; now his profile and testimony are listed on the www.mormon.org website. My brother was thrilled about the opportunity — he saw the honor as a mark of respect for his status as a member. I find myself feeling very uneasy about the matter. At this point, I need to clarify. My brother is black. He was born in 1978, the same year that the Read more [...]

Heaven Ain’t Close in a Place Like This: Mormon.org and Maxwell Institute
“Hi, I’m Brandon. I’m a Mormon.” So begins Mr. Brightside’s somewhat perfunctory Mormon.org profile: Brandon Flowers is the frontman of the rock band The Killers. In 2010, he also released a solo album entitled Flamingo. In late 2001, Brandon Flowers responded to an ad that Dave Keuning had placed in a local paper and they formed The Killers. Since then, Brandon has performed with Bruce Springsteen, U2, Coldplay, Pet Shop Boys, Lady Gaga, Fran Healy (of Travis), Andy Summers (of The Police), Read more [...]

So you’re a… umm… ok
One viewer’s reaction to an “I’m a Mormon”/Mormon.org video*: Folks be gettin’ annoyed by LDS-sponsored YouTube ads. Mormon YouTube ads engage with social media to advertise their religion, an online version of the door-to-door campaigns conducted by the Jehovahs witnesses. The only difference is that you can no longer shut the door if you dont want to talk. Yahoo! Answers: Q: Why are there so many Mormon videos infesting Youtube? A: The Mormon church is desperate for new members Read more [...]

Sorry, Mormons, but this is nuts.
The Boston Globe: The Mormon image campaign And here’s my dozen reasons why: (Memo to the Mormon leadership: Diverse teams cause people not to revert to stereotyping.) Plus one for a baker’s dozen. Local Mormons weigh in: Im a Mormon and I am here in New York and I really wish the church would pick some other place to advertise. But it’s not just Mormons. God’s Favorite Musical is driving evangelicals like John Mark Reynolds nuts, too. All signs point to Mormonism Read more [...]
