To be honest, I <I>do</I> feel shunned, because I do love my GAY mormon self (emphasis on the gay), and refuse to feel all guilty and self-loathing and jealous and etc., and it seems that because I am unashamed (not proud, but unashamed) of being gay, and of having found a way to be more or less happy, I am treated differently. <BR/><BR/>I think that some don't embrace it because they themselves are insecure about these two sides of themselves, feel conflicted, and sometimes, transfer those feelings over to those who have chosen to live a more openly gay perhaps less mormon life.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374110841642375968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-40238708765717334122008-01-25T02:16:00.000-05:002008-01-25T02:16:00.000-05:00minorities unite!many of us are shunned, either by...minorities unite!<BR/>many of us are shunned, either by society or by the low self-esteem that has been brewing inside of ourselves.

But this whole experience has taught me to love myself.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968387830827486692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-81592893041214680582008-01-24T13:21:00.000-05:002008-01-24T13:21:00.000-05:00Shunned?
