I posted this in another thread, but I don't think anyone saw it:
Here is an article I came across a few years ago in Dialogue magazine. It is written by a person who was not gay, but then was sexually abused by another male and subsequently became homosexual. The article discusses the author's challenges as an LDS male http://content.lib.utah.edu/cdm4/doc...OW=27394&REC=9 It is well worth the read (even though the page turning is a bit odd- you have to click on the page number on the left side of the webpage to progress).

Story ended abruptly, didn't it?

yes but the transition from the psychiatrist telling to have gay sex to him bearing testimony was weird.

I don't think the Sunstone people would be above passing a "parable" off as true since the practicing members there essentially beleive that that is what the Book of Mormon is. I can't fully explain why but the story doesn't ring true to me, partly because I think homosexuals are born not made, perhaps. The story also seems kind of dated.

David Bowie said about his earlier days, "I think I was a closet heterosexual."

The story doesn't really serve homosexuals' interests, and, as I say, it seems dated. I'm pretty sure it's fiction.
