Comments on: 300 Gay Mormons Meet in Salt Lake City Conference http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2011/11/07/38491 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Wed, 22 May 2013 00:59:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: cowboy http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2011/11/07/38491/comment-page-1#comment-110072 cowboy Wed, 09 Nov 2011 03:39:46 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=38491#comment-110072 The conference came too late for some. Since Halloween, there has been two young Mormon men who have taken their own lives near where I live. One was the son of an LDS Bishop and just last weekend this young man's best friend was found hanging in the family's garage. We can only speculate. Privacy dictates we give the two grieving families a buffer of respect. But, we need to get to these young people. The It-gets-Better campaign maybe didn't quite hit the right chords with everyone.

Life is probably not terribly easy for them. :( I wish the gay mormons the very best of luck. Life is probably not terribly easy for them. :(
