Polygamy's Latter Day Toll

March 19, 2007February 27, 2018

A fellow blogger and fellow contrarian wrote a brilliant post on polygamy…well also on the number four and fucking and…well, you’ll just need to go read it. Anyway, I think he’s brilliant. And I love debating with him. As I started to respond via a comment, I realized my comment…

I’m a gay Mormon, and I am Brenda

June 15, 2022June 18, 2022

Coming out as gay to Latter-day Saints is always emotionally exhausting for me. I came out slowly, first to myself at 19 and then fully to others at 24. Before I was fully out, in 2016, I had to balance my coming out between the LDS Church’s stated positions on…

Ah, a Spring Wedding in Mexico — Lovely!

    Interviewer sounded like John Dehlin?

    The “tastes like squash” part was pretty funny. Well, the cat’s partly out of the bag now. The church squeezes tighter and thing just gets bigger and bolder.

    My prediciton: epic fail for the church all around.

    Yes, the squash part was kind of funny. Kind of. Carolyn was definitely holding back on that question. I just imagine what it would be like if I had to pretend to be gay and have sex with another man.

    I am glad that Gordon Hinckley put an end to the practice of requiring gays to marry straights. Every little bit of realism can go a long way.

    Speaking of realism, I always considered it a strong suit that Mormonism rejected celibacy. That’s the reason why last instruction to returning missionaries is to get married with all deliberate speed.

    But when it comes to gays, suddenly celibacy is supposed to work.

    word on another site is that the 1Million anti-P8 yard signs were ordered from CHINA (non-union, Thank You) have been delayed.
    too bad.

    Sorry about the trouble, Kullervo. And thanks for the heads up.

    I just played the movie successfully. Jonathan’s link worked as well. May be, it was a temporary glitch at the server or with youtube.
