Sadly, I have represented his exact views on that matter. He expressed them in the left-leaning Guardian newspaper and caused a firestorm, with many people who had previously supported him in his various campaigns (gay rights, the right to out people who didn't want the pubic to know they were gay, gay marriage, green politics, human rights, etc,) publicly disowned him. In my opinion it was re

Looking back at the works/words of Spencer Kimball and his attitude towards straight sex (a mixture, it seemed to me, of horror, disgust and fascination) how on earth could we suppose they could even make a pretence of trying to understand same sex attraction?

They used to have missionaries staying with members. They banned the practice in the late 1960s, early 1970s, I think.

Yesterday, I had a good day. I had visited my doctor (yes, on a Saturday and for free) and gone to pay the gas and electricity bill (finally sorted out after a great deal of effort) I'd met my Managing Director and one of his children on the way back from Football practice (that's soccer, if anyone wonders) and I was almost at home having had a glorious walk in some surprisingly warm September su

The visit went well. The march of people against him had about 2,000 people in London. Richard Dawkins made a spirited speech, marred somewhat when people questioned his wisdom of sharing his platform with someone who is an advocate for adults having sex with children as young as nine, so long as the child concerned wants it to happen. (Peter Tatchell) This rather spoilt the point of having an
