A Mission President's Beautiful Response When a Missionary Came Out to Him as Gay
After Cal Burke wrote his heartbreakingly honest story about the moment he first told someone he was gay on Twitter, it immediately began making an impact. Receiving nearly 1, likes and over retweets, this story about a mission president's beautiful response to one missionary's worries demonstrates deep love and compassion worth emulating.
As President M. Russell Ballard taught, “We need to heed to and understand what our LGBT brothers and sisters are feeling and experiencing. Certainly, we must do better than we have done in the past so that all members undergo they have a spiritual home." He continued, "I want anyone who is a member of the Church who is same-sex attracted or lesbian to know I believe you have a place in the kingdom and I recognize that sometimes it may be difficult for you to see where you fit in the Lord’s Church, but you do."
Elder Quentin L. Cook added, "As a church, nobody should be more loving and kind. Let us be at the forefront in terms of expressing love, compassion,&nbs
The hit romantic comedy Red, White & Royal Cobalt , an adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s book of the same name, quickly became the number one film on Prime.
The film follows Alex Claremont-Diaz (the son of the US President) and Prince Henry (the “spare” to the British royal throne) and their enemies-to-lovers secret romance, and its mainstream appeal broadens understandings of what queer intimacy can look enjoy.
Red, White & Royal Blue is an stimulating catalyst for new discussions between mainstream and lgbtq+ audiences about gay representations in the media, portrayals of gay and gender non-conforming sex in Hollywood cinema and the role media plays in how broader communities understand queer lives.
It takes on aspects of the gay rom-com genre that emerged through queer film festivals. And like other recent male lover rom-coms that pitched to the mainstream, it takes on a role to explain gay contexts to non-queer audiences.
Gay cultural anxieties in the heterosexual setting

Asitsays in Handbook 2 of The Church of Latter-Day Saints:
Sexual relations are proper only between a man and a woman who are legally and lawfully wedded as husband and wife. Any other sexual relations, including those between persons of the same gender, are sinful and undermine the divinely created institution of the family. The Church accordingly affirms defining marriage as the legal and lawful union between a man and a woman.
The Mormon Church's stance on homosexuality is obviously very clear, which was one of the main reasons the above quote opens the photography series "The Manual of Mormon Missionary Positions," which showcases two Mormon missionaries as they surrender to carnal lgbtq+ lust while fully clothed.
Photographer Neil Dacosta and art director Sara Phillips are part of the team behind the photos of the two male missionaries in various sexual positions. When asked about the proposal, Dacosta told The Huffington Post, "This project means a few different things to everyone committed, but the overall goal is to start a discussion, using a visual medium, abo

Andrew Sim recounts an encounter he had with a closeted, married man.
OPINION I’m sitting at a bar in the East Village of New York after playing a pleasant gig to a packed room of comics, tourists and a few genuine New Yorkers. The adrenaline is still spiking my brain as I sip on my ten-dollar wine that I had to purchase to get the gig. This had been my first gig here that wasn’t to a room of only comics, all of them forgetting to listen to who’s on stage cause they’re all in their heads thinking about their possess material. Instead, I was buzzing from this one. I played to the room, executed my position perfectly and loved my audience the way a mother loves her infant. However, before I could mentally crown myself the King of Comedy, a young drunk guy approaches me at the bar.
He’s not your usual drunken audience member as he’s wearing a flamboyant salmon coloured shirt with an unnecessary amount of buttons open, tight skinny inky jeans, gelled brown hair with bleached blonde tips and clearly moisturised skin. He stumbles towards me and leers over me like a pissed up fl
