Neal's Pensieve: Ad Mormonem
http://nealspensieve.blogspot.com/2014/08/ad-mormonem.html
A little pool of thoughts. Tuesday, August 5, 2014. He is too a Prophet! Ad mor·mo·nem. A uniquely Mormon form of argument. 1 appealing to spiritual feelings, testimony, or patriarchal prejudices rather than intellect. 2 marked by or being an attack on an opponent's worthiness or orthodoxy, rather than by an answer to the contentions made. More effective if delivered in the Primary Voice. Light sabers optional. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. LDS Church Web Site.

unnatural selection: Our youth
http://agaybiologist.blogspot.com/2016/02/our-youth.html
Contemplations of a gay biologist. Every couple months it seems, Mormonism and LBGT issues intersect on the public stage and cause another stir. Last week a spokesperson for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints expressed remorse for LGBT suicides in the Church, a move in response to information circulating in the media about an apparent increase in LGBT Mormon suicides following the Church's policy revisions in November about gay couples and their children. This is the background. (If you'...

Contemplations of a gay biologist. Was a sea of rainbows on Sunday. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many LGBT people in one place, let alone people period. There were flags on street poles, flags in the parade, flags in the crowd and visible gestures of happy pride from. Businesses. There were even rainbow squid hats! Over a million people were estimated to have attended the pride festivities this weekend. The parade lasted for some six hours. And a few other annoyances like excessive trash on the streets.

unnatural selection: This is why pride
http://agaybiologist.blogspot.com/2016/06/this-is-why-pride.html
Contemplations of a gay biologist. This is why pride. When I was in the closet years ago, I may have sympathized with those who voiced criticism of gay pride celebrations. 'Why do they need to flaunt their sexuality? Selfish and perverted. Sadly there are many people that still feel that way. There are even a few, drunk in their own deluding hatred, who believe that gay people are worthy of death. What is the point of gay pride parades, which usually occur around this time of year? Church. Violence i...

Contemplations of a gay biologist. It would be better that a millstone . It has been a busy weekend with back-to-back scientific conferences in two states. It has been a tiring few days, but in my spare moments I have been thinking a lot about the. The new policy targets LGB people and their families in a few ways. First, it establishes that same-sex marriage is an offense of apostasy, and therefore requires mandatory Church discipline. (Note that not even actual. In general conference talks, press relea...

unnatural selection: A modicum of middle-aged wisdom
http://agaybiologist.blogspot.com/2015/09/a-modicum-of-middle-aged-wisdom.html
Contemplations of a gay biologist. A modicum of middle-aged wisdom. Question everything. Questioning isn’t merely doubt. It is the foundation of all learning because it is the first step in the scientific process that leads to observation, experiment, and eventually, truth. Relationships with others are one of the principal joys of life (and vital for most people) but it is even more important to enjoy your own company and thoughts. You live with yourself more than any other person. Dont ask dont tell.

Contemplations of a gay biologist. The mass shooting at. But it was also a tragedy specific to the gay community. In the tragedy, citing God’s will for retribution for gays. Picketing of funerals by extremists, hate speech, internal hatred - these are reminders that homophobia is frequently not very far away. It may be a minority of extremists that publicly vocalize or act on their deep intolerance, but how many in silent. Sympathize with their views at least to some extent? Like a powerful speech. I don...

Contemplations of a gay biologist. This husband IS gay. Recently married to a straight woman. Will straight marriages work for most gay people? About my attractions to other men, but both of us had only a superficial understanding of homosexuality at the time. We didn’t discuss the topic much more and we got married. Though I knew since my teenage years that I liked guys, acting on those feelings in any capacity was strictly forbidden in the. That’s supposedly what God wants Mormons to do. In a very publ...

Contemplations of a gay biologist. 39 questions for the World Congress of Families. What exactly is it about same-sex marriage that threatens a straight marriage? How specifically does your gay neighbor’s marriage negatively impact your straight neighbor’s marriage? Won’t allowing gay people to marry increase the stability of society overall? Can you cite any data that show a direct link between acceptance of same-sex marriage and heterosexual couples losing interest in marriage or having children? Can y...
