Oh I forgot, those can't be real "saints", they are not even "real christians" But they wear holy underwear. Every time I'm in the Salt Lake area I think; what a crazy bunch, but the built a nice modern city out in the middle of nowhere. They seemed to be hard workers, and good at business. But I hear its not a good place to be gay.

Lots of married men out on the down low, I've been told.

Song Lyrics That Used the Word 'Gay' Before Its Meaning Changed.
If a song has the word 'gay' in its lyrics chances are it came from an earlier era, most likely before Stonewall and the beginning of the gay liberation movement (but there are exceptions). Such songs use the word to describe a mood of happiness or lightheartedness. When people hear these lyrics today some smile, others giggle, but traditionalists are often annoyed that the word has lost its innocent meaning. (Occasionally a misguided soul tries to change 'gay' to 'happy' or 'fun' but then relents when his/her attempt is discovered and ridiculed in the media.)

Some while after the definition changed I was in a gospel meeting with probably 200 people in the meeting. The worker during his sermon told about something he had done when he was "young and gay" -- and I noticed some of the kids grinning and nudging each other.

But Bob how do we know he wasn't being honest and making self-disclosure of his sexual orientation or gender identity. It may have been his glorious coming out moment.

Well, we noticed how he behaved with women, and we were quite convinced THAT wasn't his problem. He was a rare type. He had a companion once who was also a rare type. One gospel meeting his companion started the meeting while he was still asleep on a lounge outside. He staggered in while we were singing the first hymn.

I just have to say, there is an inordinate amount of social pressure placed on morose, despondent, and depressed homosexual people who are commonly expected to identify as "gay" as if they're parading around with feather boas and followed by perpetual rainbows, unicorns, and colorful ponies.
Well, maybe some are.
But not all.
Some just happen to be men who prefer the company of men, and women who prefer the company of women; despondent, depressed, and morose though they may be.
