Hi, I’m Marishia

Chino Blanco, August 19, 2010May 17, 2011

In this post, we’re chatting with the author of a mormon.org profile that caught our attention.

Chino,

I’m sad for people like you because you deny the fullness of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. You choose to put down others like myself who have finally found peace and acceptance with their homosexuality. Rather than be happy for the few of us who are free from depression and suicidal thoughts, you and your friends choose to tear us apart, falsely accuse us and condemn us without ever even talking to us or knowing us. You will never understand the amazing witness I received from the Holy Spirit, if you never accept the Savior and his true gospel fully. I never underwent any Church treatment. I am not involved with any PR for Mufi Hannemann. You and your friends are wrong on everything you have tried to accuse me of.

I hope and pray that you will receive the special witness like I did because then you’ll know for yourself what others like me are talking about.

God bless you Chino.

Aloha,
Marishia.

Final religious amicus brief on US same-sex marriage

April 26, 2015April 26, 2015

I’ve been following the same-sex marriage debate on the legal front since the days of Prop 8. In 2010, Judge Walker gave his damning ruling that “a gender restriction on marriage is nothing more than an artifact of a foregone notion that men and women fulfill different roles in civic…

    You didn’t miss much, Lisa. Marishia’s profile is back up.

    And to anyone else reading, please feel free to read my #48 and enjoy a chuckle at my expense. I earned it. 😉

    Marishia makes the news (or at least, a Salt Lake Tribune blog).
