For a class assignment we were to look through this website, and for me, it really was an eye opener. I watched every video on here and really tried to see the world and the church through the interviewee's eyes.
My personal experience with LDS people who are openly gay is limited: a good friends' son who I believe is still active in the church but has a boyfriend, and my nephew who just opened up to the world last year, is living in NY with a boyfriend, and I'm not sure if he is active, my guess is not. I love these young men, and will always be loving and kind and supportive, but to watch these videos, I think that takes a LOT of courage and commitment and I really appreciate their openness and honesty in the videos. I did not know this site existed, so I also appreciate the assignment to explore it. Such difficult trials some people have to endure, I do not dare judge them for their choices.
