Now, I still that, but more open about my sexuality to help myself and hopefully others.Bravonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762204502534599107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997761876150491695.post-47450442761149604872010-05-04T22:50:34.969-06:002010-05-04T22:50:34.969-06:00I appreciate what I think is support from a lot of...I appreciate what I think is support from a lot of you.

That's what the blog is about, right? Cj uses a sterio type too. It was sacastic and to make a point, but better comunication is the goal for some people. I thought the point of the blog is correct. Lots of homo mormon men who choose to follow the churches rules.dougshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00509409561299004373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997761876150491695.post-67985150470474437132010-05-04T18:51:47.035-06:002010-05-04T18:51:47.035-06:00"Brother" CJ is actually "Sister&qu..."Brother" CJ is actually "Sister" CJ--hence the reference to me being barefoot in the kitchen. There are two issues: how we're born, and the choices we make. We're born a certain way (black, white, male, female, gay, straight, whatever), but as to who and what we become, that's up to choice. And, yes we *choose* to be sensitive--that's precisely my point. A person isn't sensitive, because he's gay; he's sensitive, because, gay or straight, he chooses to be sensitive.<br /><br />I didn't say everything was a choice; I said, quite specifically, that sexual orientation is *not* a choice. Perhaps you could read what I wrote, before you respond. Or, even better, you could read the response I wrote at my own blog (cjstutz.blogspot.com).<br /><br />FYI, I'm white, lame, Republican, an ardent support of GLBT rights, a Mormon, a woman, married to a wonderful man who puts up with me, and not, in fact, either rich or a butt-head. My husband, who is not gay, is sensitive, loving, thoughtful, honest, and kind--all the things I'm not :-)C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08086277404490573891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997761876150491695.post-6891115954741444042010-05-04T18:43:28.274-06:002010-05-04T18:43:28.274-06:00I don't believe in equality, and I don't t...I don't believe in equality, and I don't think, from what I read, that bro Thomp believes in it either except as a state of enduring or leveling. There is not great equalizer other that god. We are all separate individuals with trates and talents. Some gravitate this way and another that way. To say that men's sensitivity to things of the spirit would be justified A great number are. Not all, but Bro Thomp doesn't claim to speak for all. <br /><br />What is this “accident of our birth, Bro CJ? Freudian slip? There are no accidents. There are choices. Choosing sensitivity, or to be a Mormon, or to watch Glee are choices. Genetics is not a choice. We can choose behaviors. We do not choose our genes. Can sensitivity be passed on through lineage? I believe that yes. Therefore to say that Everything is a choice is just as wrong. There are many influences on our behaviors.Iam Demhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339464441236118031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997761876150491695.post-73837687293980922682010-05-04T18:21:29.931-06:002010-05-04T18:21:29.931-06:00I do think stereo types are based on truth, which ...I do think stereo types are based on truth, which is why they can be offensive. Mormons have many wives, Jews are tight with money, Republicans are rich butt-heads. Gays are sensitive. Truth and truth and truth. Not very PC, or kind. Offence if all other trates and abilities are dismissed. Not very in-depth without digging much deeper. But this essay digs deep and is not used to belittle. I am in accord with its content. I know many Mormon Homos that remain anonymous due to one of the affore mentioned reasons or another. Silent, strong and honest. Mostly silent.<br /><br />You are giving them a voice.

I thought the whole point of the equality movement--whether proposing the radical notion that women, African Americans, or other groups are, in fact, people--was that we're all equal. Was that, ultimately, our sexual orientation--like our gender, like our color--doesn't determine our character. I firmly believe that. It astonishes me, in this day in age, that anyone clings to the notion that how we're born determines who we are. The idea that gay men are "more sensitive", or all like Glee, or whatever, is ridiculous, bigoted, and untrue. The fact that you're gay, and saying these things, doesn't make them any less ridiculous or any more true. It might surprise you to learn that many straight men are sensitive, creative, and loving--and many gay men are not. This is because, once again, our character--not the accident of our birth--determines our identity.C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08086277404490573891noreply@blogger.com
