In the name of righting a misconception I'm always worried is going to happen about me because of my pseudonym, I am not an iconoclast. I do not disagree with majorities or institutions just because they are majorities and institutions. I simply happen to be different from most majorities (especiall...

Cognoscente, I've been grappling with the idea of starting a Board blog for a while, and this is a brilliant middle ground.

Hey luxurious, thanks. Seriously. I was going to link up to some Ensign articles, but my roommate just pointed out this quote from lds.org/newsroom, and I thought I'd share it instead. ELDER WICKMAN: One question that might be asked by somebody who is struggling with same-gender attraction is, “Is...

Also, for what it is worth, I don't think that same-sex attraction is something that can be changed in all or even most cases, at least not completely. People know who they are attracted to. I choose to use the language that people who go through this use, because they know better than I do, and I t...

The working definition I work under and the one that all the people I asked use (as far as I know) is that a gay person is one who experiences attraction to people of their own gender and who would call him- or herself gay. Those are the people who I gave the estimated statistics about. Most of thos...

Hey krebscout, quite a few of my dates in high school were with gay friends, some who were out then and others who came out later. Ah, the good old days. I think my definition of gay friendly is pretty close to krebscout's. Those of my gay friends who actively pursue fulfillment of their feelings of...

Exactly. It would either be live alone, or what, find one lesbian and one gay male and have them live together. It's a very complicated situation. And Vorpal Blade, I'm pleased we're now speaking the same language... And that's exactly what I mean. Once someone starts acting on those feelings, they ...

To answer the first question, I attended arts schools from elementary school the whole way up through high school graduation, and as you might predict people were more open with their sexual orientations. I knew a lot of gay guys and girls, but I also had a lot of straight friends. It's just the way...

Actually, I think there might be quite a bit of popular support for just that idea. The first time I heard it was three or four years ago, when it was being advocated by... well, let us say, a crowd that would not be at home on the BYU campus. I agree with you; that could be a viable course of actio...

First of all, thanks Fredjikrang. I really appreciate it. I know I'm still confused, and I appreciate knowing that other people are, as well. Just to advocate for the other side one more time, I think that a huge portion of the population would disagree with the thought that same-sex marriage is abo...
