Comment on Emmett Till, Joseph Smith, Matthew Shepard and the Results of Prejudice by angelolopez

You express very good sentiments, Kim, but I’m afraid that not all Mormons, or Christians in general, share your views. I attended an evangelical church for 8 years and witnessed gay christians get harassed or ostracized or get dirty looks from people who didn’t approve. In those churches, there were individual Christians who treated their gay and lesbian friends with respect, but the larger group were not so loving and kind.

That’s one of the things that turned me off to Evangelical Christianity, and I have a feeling it’s probably the same way with the Mormon church too. There may be individual Mormons who treat their gay and lesbian friends and family with love and respect, but I’m guessing the larger group are probably as disapproving as the larger group in the Evangelical church I attended. That’s just a guess on my part.

There’s a group called Affirmation that is for gay and lesbian Mormons. You could find them here http://www.affirmation.org/. In reading their website, I found that gay Mormons’ experiences were similar to the gay Evangelical friends I’ve talked to. So when I read about how the Mormon church treat gays with love and respect even if they don’t agree with homosexuality, I think that’s probably true with some individual Mormons but I have my doubts with the larger group.

Comment on Emmett Till, Joseph Smith, Matthew Shepard and the Results of Prejudice by kim

Hey. I meant to submit a comment to a previous site I was on, but I couldn’t find it again. . .
I am kind of replying to those who had left comments there, so I apologize. But there were a couple of comments left on the previous site that said something to the effect of “Oh, it’s too bad that the Mormons didn’t learn from their own history not to discriminate against gays. . . ”
I guess I would just like to say, at least concerning gays. . . the LDS people have never embraced violence toward any group who they had theological reasons for disapproving of their behavior.
There is nowhere within the LDS church where its adherents are taught to “hate” gays. They just do not believe that it is normal or good to act on gay tendencies. And they believe that to say that it is okay for homosexuals to be married, would be wrong.
And, LDS people are still being persecuted; of late, it has been because of their willingness to stand up against gay “marriage”. If we were to look at who has really been persecuted in California, I would definitely say it has been the LDS people (with their churches being vandalized, etc.).

I think that it is terrible, absolutely TERRIBLE about that poor young man in Laramie, Wyoming who was beaten so badly and hurt so badly he died just a few days later. That is so horrible. And while someone might not feel that acting on gay tendencies is right, that (as I am sure would be seconded by the general authorities of the LDS church) absolutely does not mean that there is any excuse for abuse or disrespect–especially such abuse as what happened to poor Matthew Shepard. That was just absolutely disgraceful. Some might say that just to disagree with the gay lifestyle is a form of disrespecting, but I disagree. I think that people can feel that what someone is doing is morally wrong, but still show a great deal of love and consideration toward that person.

“Hi:

Two things

1) I’d like your permission to (re)print your article on Fareed Zakaria for our website

2) I was hoping we could use your ‘scribing’ talent for our website.

The Best Shows Youre Not Watching (dot) com [all one word]

‘The Clone Wars’ is one of our featured shows. We’re hoping to round up a few people who can occasionally contribute perspective (via an article/blog) on the shows – maybe a recent episode, future direction, plot shortcomings etc.

What’s in it for you?
Primarily a larger audience back channeled to your blog. We don’t pay but the site has a lot of promise and we’re pretty excited about getting it off the ground. Let me know what you think.

Thanks
