Not only is your experience meaningful to gays in the Church, it reminds us all that there is peace to found in facing life with humility and hope, no matter what hand we're dealt. As I'm sure you know, your life and example will make a positive difference for so so so many people.

Your message was very well spoken and I'm glad to hear from a righteous LDS member. My sister is gay but never been LDS and she struggles with my support of a church that would deny her the right to marry. I struggle with how to stand up for my beliefs without hurting her feelings. The topic is the elephant in the room that we both avoid so as to keep our loving relationship with each other. I admire your ability to stay close to the Savior and stand up for who you are.Lisa Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678111345177959698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835564038959249094.post-47491766834751243082011-08-14T21:14:17.541-07:002011-08-14T21:14:17.541-07:00Thanks, Actually- I only get one shot at this life...Thanks, Actually- I only get one shot at this life, and it's my goal to do it to my very best--and bring others up through the flanks with me!

Don't let anyone stifle you. Even if your parents are not supportive,you are not alone.

There are probably few priethood holders that refer to her insight. Although, being an openly gay Latter Day Saint, I didn't hesitate. The members in my Ward are beginning to realize who I am. I am the Elder that will confront you, amicably of course, concering any unrighteous words or actions concerning GLBT rights.
