… LOL!?! As a former, gay LDS of 14-yrs. – who served a mission to the Pacific/Northwest & graduated from BYU in Broadcast Journalism – I find the “Mormons Exposed” project hilarious!

- Excommunicated for being gay, I’ve written a book about my 35+ yr. career in the print media on both coasts for the mainstream-&-gay media (17-yrs. with “Billboard Magazine” in L.A., Vegas-&-here in the Bflo./Rochester, NY markets.) With a major lit. agent in NY, the book also details my expereince in Provo, SLC, Seattle-&-S. Cal. with the Mormon Church, especially major homophobe Pres. Spencer W. Kimball. As-well-as the annual witch hunts for gay students at BYU, which included electro-shock treatment & many resulting suicides!

… Had two affairs with other LDS gay men, one African-American from my mission days (a high school principal) & a fellow heart patient here in NYS! & HOW about the Mormon Church’s $20+ million spent supporting Prop. 8 in CA.?!? NICE???

I’ve really enjoyed hearing the guys talk about their lives and their missions. It takes away some of the mystery a lot of us will never understand about their faith and their commitment to community.

Y’know Tom, this episode and the one with Chad Hardy was really interesting and in a way uplifting. It was good to hear such a tolerant & accepting attitude from two members of the Mormon church. Not at all what I would have expected – they truly are excellent ambassadors for the Mormons. Well done, all round.

I love the interviews you have done with the Mormon boys. I like hearing about Mormonism in a positive light. I am not Mormon, but some of their beliefs are great.
