Howard Ashman wrote “Part of Your World” in 1989. He was a gay man living in New York at the height of the AIDS crisis.

After having lost the love of his life and dealing with his own diagnosis, Howard wrote a song about a girl at the bottom of the ocean watching the world above the water. Longing to belong. Wondering if she’d ever get to be part of it.

It wasn’t a fictional story, it was a song about his life.

Real talk. This DM is exactly what swirls in the minds of gay Latter-day Saints [or insert the name of your religion here] when they’re told their only faithful future is celibacy. Never dating. Never marrying. Never building a life with someone they love. Never an option.

This is what you’re promoting when you raise your hand to the square and sustain church leaders who teach this “doctrine”. When you cower instead of speak up. When you choose their uncertainty about eternity over the certainty of what these teachings are doing to people right now.

Imagine being okay with your son or daughter lying awake hoping that God could just break them enough that they would stop wanting to love.

And when you hang The Family: A Proclamation to the World on your wall, they know what it says about the family you hope they’ll have. They can see themselves outside that picture, even if you’ve convinced yourself otherwise.

This is the real currency of religion when doctrine and policy matter more than the people forced to live beneath it: men and women praying for God to take away their ability to love.

Sit with that.
Tell me where you see Jesus in this?

I mean, dang it all to heck, Becky!

The first rule of Mormonism—lace everything with passive aggression—and do it the nicest way possible.

The field is white, all ready to harvest.

For all of our non-Mormon friends…after a Latter-day Saint “applies” to become a missionary, the church will mail or email a letter informing the missionary where in the world they will be sent to serve. For many Mormons the “opening” and reading aloud that letter to all your family and friends is a rite of passage. Becky jumped the gun.

And for the record: I need to meet Big Mouth Becky.
