We're talking about circumstance. Many of us believe that this is not something that changes. Some of us would change in a heartbeat, some of us wouldn't. I personally have learned so much from this, I wouldn't give it up

That's very telling. Some of them wouldn't change even if they could.

I hope there is a drug on the horizon with power to change people.

I'm glad they have a forum wherein they talk about it.

Check this out. The group that was protesting the event.

It's like a closeted gay cougarboard reactionary started his own treehouse club.

Suppose the tables were turned. You find yourself attracted to women, but your religion tells you that you may only marry and be intimate with men.

Maybe we could share clothes.

If the church required us to be gay, I guess we would finally be okay with our spouses throwing out the swimsuit issue before we got home.

I don't think the Bateman-BYU that I graduated from would have allowed an official BYU function such as this.

I mean, all in all, this was pretty tame stuff. BYU students living the honor code, who have testimonies, talking about their experience with same sex attraction and homosexuality. You didn't hear anything, for example, about gay sexual experiences or any of a number of things that could be discussed in a Q&A.

Of course, one wonders if and when this trickles up to the BOT, whether the hammer comes crashing down.

And this crazy anti-gay group. It's like the worst caricature of the former poster JohnnyLingo or something. I'll bet good money have the members are repressed gays.

It is tame stuff but interesting considering it involves BYU. The Oaks years probably would not have entertained such an event.

Strange but I never believed I'd see this.
