I, therefore, always consider the statement to be a lie, and a manipulation technique. By the way, did you enjoy my little attempt at humor to make sure that you stay humble?Steven Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285355643172321289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730636855717448971.post-29416636051583976052011-01-28T11:19:07.839-07:002011-01-28T11:19:07.839-07:00@Martin- wow I wouldn't have imagined UVU was ...@Martin- wow I wouldn't have imagined UVU was a MORE conservative environment.

I know there are many films, etc. out there about those who leave the church for various reasons, which I fully understand. But, it would also be really nice to have film made about those who want to keep the church in their lives, also.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />And, I will answer your e-mail soon. :)<br /><br />love and respect, always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730636855717448971.post-40193842366227242392011-01-27T00:23:23.388-07:002011-01-27T00:23:23.388-07:00Great post!

(I actually wrote about it on my blog about ten days ago.)<br /><br />May I ask yet another question?<br /><br />I do not know what your dating experiences have been, either gay dating, or non-gay dating. In my experiences with gay dating, which have been rather limited, it feels like everything has been cranked up to move VERY fast. And, it feels like everything is very sexually charged. Maybe it has always been like that in dating and I have just been too naive or trusting to have noticed it. Maybe I felt my guard was up when dating the opposite sex and feel less guarded with the same sex and that is why everything seems to move at warp speed. Have you felt any of this in your dating? am I even making sense about what I have been feeling?<br /><br />Thank you for being so open to answering questions from us on the Internet. I know for myself that I truly appreciate your perspectives, both as a man, a gay man, and a gay man who loves the Savior. It is refreshing on many accounts.<br /><br />love and respect, always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730636855717448971.post-24468013503312818912011-01-26T23:11:52.265-07:002011-01-26T23:11:52.265-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730636855717448971.post-6611730681961026752011-01-26T20:27:10.040-07:002011-01-26T20:27:10.040-07:00Congrats on making it out safely, Jonathan.

I was rookie faculty at BYU and fortunately, in my last semester of seven years, I was able to hold up when I realized that I had to leave my family as well as transition over to UVU. Too bad UV was screamingly MORE conservative! Sometimes us MoHos that are a generation upline get to feel wonderful when another young man makes it. Almost like the Schindler effect (from Schindler's List) - except that you did all the work. I wish you the best both professionally and personally.Martin in NYCnoreply@blogger.com
