What's ghoulish is how gay Mormons have been treated by the CULT for all these many years. That's what's ghoulish. And they have gotten away with it.

Fight fire with fire.


You're using some poor woman's suicide as a way of poking the church in the eye. It's ghoulish.

What's ghoulish is shocking gay men in a torture chair in order to try and change their sexual orientation.

The church doesn't give a rat's ass about the tortured guy in the chair or the poor lesbian who jumped off the balcony.

I'd like to do more than just poke the church in the eye. I'd like to bash its head in and beat its brains out!

This could be an accurate statement. It depends on how you define what makes a person a homosexual. I have talked to many individuals that say they are attracted to a same-sex person but they have not engaged in homosexual intimacies or any sexual activity. In my definition that is not a homosexual, that person is a celebrate, possibly a "Wantaby homosexual".
If you are an actual homosexual, having engaged in homosexual activity and have made that know to church leaders then you would be excommunicated and thus no longer a member of the Church. Therefore, the church does not have any homosexual members.
Aim at at nothing and you're sure to hit it.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. That's like telling a straight person they are not heterosexual just because they don't have sex or never have engaged in heterosexual sex.

Give me a break and don't insult my intelligence. Jesus Christ!

Furthermore, you twit:

That's like telling closeted homosexual Mormons who don't actually commit physical sexual acts with other men that they are not real homosexuals although they commit sexual fantasies in their conscious minds or in their dreams at night.

'Homosexual' means "sexually attracted to people of one's own sex." Google it. Bednar was not accurate and you're simply wrong.

Though I doubt it is the situation here - it brings to mind Law Enforcement photographed laughing over the dead body after a shootout. Laughing in relief after major stress is normal and doesn't mean they are laughing at a victim - but a photograph or video does not show context.

Bedbug did not even address the problem of the day - that is the real problem here. He could not change his prepared rant to address the reality on a campus that is known for denying it. He is way out of touch with what is needed, selfish in his own little world where he expects worship and instant obedience. He is not there to help.
