I just got a phone call from my ex-mo niece, who came across a link to a recent interview of her uncle (my brother) in which he describes his life-long stuggle with the euphemistically described "same-sex attraction" through a long marriage, fathering 8 children, the death of his wife, and his recent remarriage to a very TBM woman.
The interview is very moving, even seen from an exmo viewpoint, and includes a subtle chiding of the church for not providing more resources and being more supportive of members going through this struggle.
The interview (about 45 minutes) is on the Northstar website:
