President Kimball when the church ends centuries of prejudice against the LGBT. (Telescope fish Smithsonian image by Dave Johnson of Harvard MCZ specimen 60585)

I used to think it saved so much money to live the word of wisdom. 🤫 Guys, alcohol is cheaper than tithing.

Cw: Mormon purity culture, creepy dude. You know when the idea of modesty broke for me? I was 16. There was a panel of Seniors talking about modesty in Seminary. One dude said that he preferred modestly dressed girls because he could undress them with his eyes. 1/9

No, demons in the Bible do not prefer they/them pronouns

The church in San Jose: combining units all the time and almost every chapel in the South Bay only has just one family ward Also the church in San Jose: let’s build a temple 🤷🏻‍♂️

What’s the weirdest homophobic thing you heard? As a kid I heard that all the gardener snakes in San Francisco were dying because gays were putting condoms on them and using them. Apparently there was evidence of dead snakes in parking lots with condoms on their heads.

A member that lives around the corner saw me in my yard today and talked a bit. “Haven’t seen you guys in a while…” and I just hold my tongue. They just wouldn’t understand things like this tweet so they’ll continue on until their bubble bursts.

The sin of Sodom is not homosexual sexual intercourse.

Update. I haven’t been on here much mostly because I’ve found a great deal of inner peace by moving out on my own and living and experiencing authentic life as a gay man. My religious turmoil is being replaced by peace daily. I appreciate all of you who’ve helped. Hugs to all 🫂.

President Oaks: "Members of our faith should express homophobia and transphobia sufficiently enough that such individuals feel it necessary to leave the Church. . . but the Savior does not desire us to be so homophobic that their straight parents and siblings leave with them."

Hey Northern Utah friends. Who’s around Memorial Day weekend? I’m thinking of doing a holiday weekend drive. Would be great to meet many of you and figure out what this place Milk you talk about is like on a Saturday night.

Hey Utah gays-this weekend are there any events happening? Last time I went to a drag show by BYU which was nice. Wondering if there’s anything else going on to check out or maybe it’s just a weekend to find folks at a good watering hole.

When straight Mormons get divorced it’s their own damn fault. When a gay Mormon like me gets divorced from his straight wife, it’s the church’s f*cking fault.

Some members of the church hate us, the LGBTQIA, simply because we exist. Until that hate is gone from the members, the leaders have not done their job. They will not be received as easily into the kingdom as they think they will. They are not doing enough for the least of these.

🌈Life is vibrant and fulfilling when I’m not fighting who I am. I wouldn’t have believed it for the years I struggled to balance my sexuality and the internal homophobia I learned from religion & culture. I don’t know who needs to hear this right now but you’re not alone. 🫂

This is how I’m “breaking the sabbath” today. My first pride parade. 🏳️‍🌈

Love seeing good stuff like this.

We should all look on the heart not the body.

I’m in SLC if any of my friends here would like to try to meet. I’m flexible today until dinner time and may be able to meet tomorrow afternoon or possibly Tuesday evening also.
