Gay at BYU - an amazing YT video

I am practically speechless over this YT video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0jXg-hKCI

When I first went to BYU, Ernest Wilkinson announced to us that if we were homosexual, we were not welcome there, and we were invited to leave right then and there.

Wow - have times changed!

Wow. I am going to reach out to my ex who taught at BYU for 13 years, was a tenured professor, and who left a job he loved because he finally was honest with himself and came out at age 44. He should comment on this video as a former prof there.

I'm sure this change for the better (at least I HOPE it is) will interest him. Please tell him "hi" from me, I'd love to catch up with him sometime.

Re: Gay at BYU - an amazing YT video

These videos are amazing. I've been crying my eyes out since I started watching them. These are the kind of amazing human beings that prove to me that the world is still a wonderful place. All these young women and men seem to understand Christ better than any of the GA could ever dream of. I know for me, one of the reasons (one of many) I started to question the church for was there stance of homosexuality and how little sense it made. So I congratulate these brave people for standing up for what they believe in a place like BYU because if Mormonism is what it says it is, they should welcome these people with open arms because wow.

Wonderful people. I'd like to revisit their perspectives in five years.

The vid is very moving.

I feel terrible for that young man in the b/w plaid shirt whose father denounced and condemned him. He is still lost in the miasma of self-hatred that the cult instilled in him. I hope he finds himself, and finds the true love he deserves.
