ON BEG A GAY MORMON MISSNARY
* gay missionaries *
It's gay.
Gay Mormon missnari are, a way, a cliché. There are tons of gay films about twky missnari who long for ck as much as salvatn.
) So mak sense that Mark Duplass, a straight du, would go for the missnary storyle when wrg a gay episo for Room 104.

It's an easy and readily available ia: Two gay Mormon elrs are paired together for missnary work. What elevat this episo beyond gay cliché is Megan Griffhs' directn.
Will they intify as gay? If they are gay, will they e out to others?

Jab Hampton realized he was gay only a few months before his LDS missn. Durg his missn, Jab and his Zone Lear would ocsnally "cuddle" bed - but did not engage any overt sexual behavrs. This is Jab's missn story. * gay missionaries *
One Sunday I was attendg my parents’ ward, when a brother stood up and ma some extremely homophobic ments.
It reassured me, and told me that this brother didn’t know what he was talkg about when he spoke about gay people. It seemed to me that the majory of Mormons had ser misnceptns about homosexualy, and had very negative and false stereotyp about what meant to be gay.
Maybe the growth of the Church would be very bad for gay people – much the way that the growth of Evangelil Christiany Uganda has been disastro for gays that part of the world. And if I knew of God’s great love for me and if I knew of all the ways which he had blsed me and my hband, then surely I mt know that his plan for the Church, there would always, always be a place for me and my hband, and that the spread of his Church, far om beg bad for gays, would make a world that is far, far better for gays and for all God’s children, whatever their sexual orientatn, race, genr or other aspects of who we are. All tak is new rmatn and a slight shift of perspective, and homophobia n be cured.

A person n be homophobic, but if they learn how to love, once the sl of homophobia are removed om their ey, they will love far better than someone who was not homophobic, but never learned the value of sacrifice. This is why we need the Church to grow, and why we need to be a part of the Church, and why we need to learn to live the Gospel see, this same brother who tght me this betiful lson about why I need to not worry about my stat the Church, and worry more about the kd of person I am beg also tght me this lson about homophobia. And this same brother who had gotten up one day Sunday School a few years ago and gone on a homophobic rant that almost ed me to get up and walk out of the Church, that same brother stood up Prithood meetg and to my and my father’s astonishment nfsed that many the Church have misunrstood and have needlsly rejected our lbian and gay brothers and sisters (he ed the words “lbian and gay”!
He jt hadn’t unrstood gays.
I thk this is generally a good thg, though seems to add certa challeng relatn to Church activy and service, pecially relatn to servg a full-time a gay or lbian youth were to ask my advice about whether to serve a missn for the Church or not, here is what I would say. But what I do know is that the membership of the Church do not have to be purified of every last vtige of homophobia orr to provi a marvelo ntext for growth and for the Lord to bls through his rtored prithood.

Homosexual Experienc while a Mormon Missnary.
GAY MORMON OUT TO RELIG FATHER, BUT DON’T GET THE REACTN HE WAS EXPECTG
A gay Mormon has shared the moment he me out as gay to his relig father, and the reactn was not what he expected. * gay missionaries *
On another redd exmo post a few of the menters were discsg havg homosexual experienc durg the time they were servg as missnari. I am not homosexual (but supportive of the liftyle) and for some stupid reason was ially surprised to read someone experienced homosexual activy on their missn. Probably 10% of missnari are homosexual wh 50, 000 missnari obvly homosexual missnari mt be panns ocsnally.
I am not tryg to "get off" on your stori=) If I jt wanted to watch some gay porn I would. What I would love to hear om those that are willg to share is what the missn experience was like for homosexual missnari, pecially those that managed to actually have some homosexual experienc while a missnary.
Perhaps I am wrong, please let me know if I am, but I would assume by the time a homosexual man or woman is 19 they would have a fairly cent ia or their orientatn. Did you leave on your missn knowg you were homosexual or did you thk was jt a "stage"?
