Think Tom is older?! <br /><br />Glad I'm not the only one who thinks all this is being done for financial reasons. <br /><br />And I wish more stories like yours could be told. I would definitely pay attention. Ever consider blogging?! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00690707657191084655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302066353103182490.post-13946210253201255882015-01-04T16:15:19.465-06:002015-01-04T16:15:19.465-06:00Hi Gary! Thanks for your comment. Good to be back!...Hi Gary! Thanks for your comment. Good to be back! <br /><br />So glad to hear there was more family time than judging time during the holidays. That's got to be tough to bring a partner home for the first time. (even after 18 years.) Sounds like things went well. <br /><br />I am familiar with John Dehlin and his Mormon Stories - my ADD keeps me from listening to an entire podcast, but I'm working on it. I'm also a big fan Jake Abhau. I love those straight allies!

T...Well, hell, you ruined my gay fantasies about D. Todd's brother. I thought he'd have a full head of wavy hair and be at least as cute as D. Todd. Darnitall. And, I'm gay and in a mixed-orientation marriage for mostly financial reasons, but I do love her, just not quite in the right way, SO WHY can't I be on TLC and tell my side of the story. Yep, there's got to be money behind TLC's choosing this and JIM, I don't doubt, is gonna get something out of the whole thing. My advice to anyone listening, if you're gay and Mormon, the only way to vote in the Mormon church is NOT by the uplifted hand; it's called voting with your feet, and that's what I did.Kevin Rexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302066353103182490.post-9203554991904919782014-12-28T19:30:59.417-06:002014-12-28T19:30:59.417-06:00Glad you're back! I mostly just feel sorry for...Glad you're back! I mostly just feel sorry for those guys, since they (and their families) will never be truly happy. Their motivation has to be financial - always follow the money. And I also feel bad for other LGBT kids whose parents think that a mixed orientation marriage is an option. Would they want their straight daughters to marry a gay man? Don't think so. I enjoyed the Wendy Williams Montgomery article as well. Have a listen to the podcast Mormon Stories, John Dehlin does a great job of covering LGBT issues. I really enjoyed the interviews of Meg, Jake and Jon Abhou posted in November of this year. My partner of 18 years and I actually got to spend some time at Christmas with my very Mormon family for the first time this year. They've finally decided that family is more important than judging.
