Every time I worry about the corruption in the Mormon church

No they haven't. At best, someone with an agenda is masturbating your mind.

bcspace,

I hate to have to say this in the Terrestrial forum, my friend, but sometimes you just blow right through every boundary of civility and thereafter violate every tenet of reason, logic and common decency in sight.

Baloney. You guys are merely putting on your suits and ties in order to pretend your indignation is righteous.

Even with their long tradition of religiously based homophobia and associated science denial, I would say that there are very few folks in the Middle East who could even hold a candle to you.

When it comes down to openly proclaiming your homosexuality in a Muslim community in the Middle East or doing it in in a community comprised of people like me, I'll bet you'll choose me. In fact I'd bet you'd ultimately choose me over any type of non homosexual community.

After confessing my feelings of "same-sex attaction" since I was five years old, I followed two separate bishop's counsel to avoid talking about it (even, specifically, not to the woman I proposed to) and get married in the temple, in order to cure my SSA.

Eight years later, when I came out to my LDS wife, she was stunned.

As she struggled to save our failing marriage in the face of losing her husband to homosexuality, one of her proposed solutions to me was that I should seek out homorone suppliments, or, if that didn't work, castration.

What gives me the hebbie-jeabbies today isn't that she asked that of me--it's that I actually considered it for a while, instead of immediately refusing it (which I eventually did).

Oh... BCSpace's comment is ridiculously absurd. I--and many, many gay men I know--all avoided teenage depression, and had normal friends and an actual loving mother and father in the home. Those things are all completely unrelated to whether or not someone is straight, gay, or bisexual.
