Was Ex-Gay, Now Ex-Mormon

You have to watch this terrific video by Steve, who tells it like it is:

And this one by Chad, who was excommunicated for publishing the Men on a Mission calendar. Then a week after graduation, Brigham Young University actually revoked his college degree.

Russ Manley said...: You got it bud. I read a little about the case, and it appears that religious schools and colleges can set whatever requirements they like, if they aren't taking federal money. Some are accredited, some not, there's a bunch of them right here in TX.

But I agree, it sucks the big one.; July 12, 2011 at 9:00 AM

Kudos to the gentleman in the video for saving himself from their 'teachings'.; July 12, 2011 at 11:57 AM

Russ Manley said...: Yes videos and, um, blogs are a wonderful development in this latter age for breaking down the walls of silence and isolation that imprisoned us for so long.; July 13, 2011 at 10:13 AM
