    The post is very long. But what I skimmed is gut-wrenching.
    Sad, but good for them if this brings them happiness. I have never believed that gay people marrying straight people is sustainable.

    BTW, I noticed the following acronyms in the article:

    LGBTQIA
    LGTBTQ
    LGBTQ
    LGBT

    WTH? If gay people can't keep them straight then how do they expect us to?

      Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

        That was way, way, way too long to read for this guy. But from what I read, they basically admit that they thought they could outsmart biology, but they now admit they couldn’t.

        I remember thinking when they first “came out” that this would destroy the wife’s self esteem; that no matter how much she was committed to him, knowing her husband was not attracted to her would absolutely wreck her. Looks like that was a significant factor.

        Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

        There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

            That was a really sad part, when she realized that sexual attraction is, in the end, a huge part of romantic love:

            After talking about this with my sister-in-law, she said, “but you guys have such a special relationship. You’re intimate in so many other ways. Believe me, sex is not worth throwing away the connection that you two have.” From the outside looking in, I can see why she would think that, but the truth is our relationship was missing more than just a primal sexual connection . . . it was missing romantic attachment.

            Josh has never looked at me with romantic love in his eyes. He has never touched me with the sensitive touch of a lover. Whenever he held me in his arms, it was with a love that was similar to the love of a brother to a sister. That does eventually take its toll on your self-esteem. No matter how much I knew “why” he couldn’t respond to me in the ways a lover responds to a partner, it wears a person down, as if you’re not “good enough” to be loved “in that way.” And what I didn’t realize is that as human beings, we actually need to feel loved in that way with our partners.

            Those who take your acerbic asshole shtick too seriously shouldn't forget your LOL moments.
            "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

              • I had forgotten all about them. Too bad, or maybe not. Seems like they are both mature adults about it and will likely be happier wherever they end up.

                It’s too bad the church won’t bend to give gays a path to full fellowship in the church. I know I’m in the minority at church when I believe you don’t need a penis and vagina to create spirit children.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

                  Will you expound on that in your next podcast?

                    Sure. I’ll also go into how in the next life, Ute fans won’t have either.

                      Penis and vagina is very inefficient. I agree.

                        For most of this group I suspect the process is quite efficient.

                                Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
