Are gay Mormons living a gay life going to get into the Celestial Kingdom, in your opinion? Let us move beyond 'that's up to God' and get an answer please if possible.<br />Also, I would love to hear from your wife - we've heard your side and your pride in being a gay Mormon man being married to a woman - but I would enjoy hearing your wife's perspective on being married to you - not the perspective she thinks she should write, but her genuine feelings and struggles. Nice that you'll 'die trying' but it would also be nice to hear from her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997761876150491695.post-20488093728054330322015-03-11T00:57:33.019-06:002015-03-11T00:57:33.019-06:00Calvin, I do have one thought I would like to exp...Calvin, I do have one thought I would like to express and do so with kind of a question. If I understand correctly, Calvin is not your real name. So, even though you are putting your stuff out there, which I believe is important and I bet it has helped many people.

I really am (as long as you both went into the marriage fully aware that it was a mixed orientation marriage.) But for the vast majority of us this is neither a viable nor a realistic option. At the same time, I know LDS gay men who are in same-sex marriages, and who very strongly feel that the Holy Ghost has told them they are doing the right thing and God does not condemn them (regardless of what the "Church" says). If they strongly believe that this is what God has asked of them, who am I oppose that? Same for your situation - if you strongly believe that a mixed orientation marriage is what God has asked of you, more power to you. I am not throwing any stones. But I do believe that there are other "moral" options for gay LDS people besides life-long celibacy or mixed orientation marriage. In the end, all one can do is follow the path that one feels called to follow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364484623565981392noreply@blogger.com
