Eric was in my Stake growing up. I think we all knew he was gay. Big whoop.

You are right. Gay-Straight Alliances all over the country are scrambling to change their names now that you have posted that.Originally posted by imanihonjin View PostIsn't that term offensive? Suggesting that one form of sexual orientation is "straight" is to suggest superiority over other sexual orientations.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I don't know since I don't pay attention much to conference. I'll have to rely on your memory for this one.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostWasn't there a general conference talk on this issue: that it is wrong to characterize someone as being homosexual or gay and that such a description is a pejorative? I could be misremembering."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. 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. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Excellent point. It was hiding right there in plain sight!Originally posted by Joe Public View PostI thought he made it pretty clear. He referred to his car in several of his articles. He had named his car "Pedro" if memory serves. Only girls and gay guys name their cars.
He may have mentioned it before and I forgot. Happens all the time."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I don't think I can give a PC ruling, but it elicited an LOL from me. Well done.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostI have started using "those that prefer donuts but eat broccoli" when referring to someone that has a same sex attraction but marries a member of the opposite sex. Can I get a PC ruling on this?
Funny how people change. I remember reading that article while I was a student, thinking it was a very well reasoned argument. I even considered it magnanimous towards those who prefer donuts but still eat broccoli. Back then, I admired Oaks...Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostIs that you, Elder Oaks?

Bonus, the twins study...
Something tells me that Oaks is losing the 'gay as noun' battle."...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've really enjoyed watching some of you falling all over yourself in an attempt to be offended oh behalf of homosexual folks. For the record I have a gay coworker who has used the term Same Sex Attraction. This person lives in SLC but is not LDS. Maybe the influence of the the COB is starting to affect gay culture.

Should I play the 'I have gay coworkers' card also? I haven't asked, but I've never heard the term 'same sex attraction' uttered from them.Originally posted by Shaka View PostI've really enjoyed watching some of you falling all over yourself in an attempt to be offended oh behalf of homosexual folks.

People can call themselves whatever they want to. It's the church's brazen attempt to use another term to try to discredit how the vast majority of gays (both inside and outside the church) describe themselves, all in an attempt to keep their doctrine of eternal identity intact, that is offensive."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.
