Everyone is a child of God. But, will
#straights, by and large, accept that for#gays? It is for#pride and#acceptance#perhaps that he says that he is a 'gay son of God'! If all humans#accepted and#treated each other with#love and#respect; we wouldn't need any labels!#LGBT - End of conversation

I am a proud alumni of
@BYU and I can honestly say that I never believed that in my lifetime I would witness something like this. The progress made at the university, Utah and the Mormon/LDS church is to be commended. Small steps, small steps......Thanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

He’s to be commended, but this is likely only possible because he’s graduated and his matriculation isn’t compromised. Proud of him, but the institution has a LONG way to go. Let’s praise the right entity here.

The applause after the first line was so intense that the “I am not broken” is easy to miss - but the message is powerful. I love this young man.

And the admins who wanted him to speak swore silently in their heads, "fuck." If they knew before he made that speech, he would be under honor code review and his diploma on hold. I went to BYU. I know how that works. Good for him for saying it loud and proud!

Of course, to be gay in good standing with the church, you can't masturbate, no sex, no same sex romantic relationship, no gay social life, no gay friends or roommates - doesn't sound like acceptance to me.
