No idea what you're talking about -- if there's something, I missed it too.

Wow indeed. This is an incredibly powerful story. I am so glad you posted this.

Twelve minutes of raw emotion. I want to go back to the Italy of the 70s.

Than you for posting that link. Beautifully devastating. It was almost unbearable to watch for me.

It's all well and good to be a gay Mormon, and then you fall in love and you find out who you really are, and for the first time ever you are whole. And you don't let a church take that from you ever again.

I have to say, when Tom said to God, "You do what you have to do and I'll do what I have to do," I know that. There is a moment when you claim yourself. I will never forget it.

I believe there's an actual biography on this board about this Elder who served in Italy. http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,1613490,1613490#msg-1613490

I didn't know this guy in the video is the creator of gaymormonstories.com! That place is a great resource.
