I have a friend named Todd who is Mormon and was very active in the singles ward of the church. His situation was a little different, because he admitted to me that he "thinks" he's gay, but he dares not tell anyone about it, because it would break his mother's heart, embarass the family, and excommunicate him from the church, something his mother could never live down.

I asked him why he was going to the single's ward if he was gay, and he said that he was forcing himself to find a "nice mormon woman", get married, have a few kids, and that would be it.

He wants the kids, and the only way he can see to get them is to have the wife, even though he's not attracted to women.

I was flattered that he trusted me enough to tell me his secret, but still I tried to explain what was wrong with this course of action on so many levels. It didn't faze him.

That was 2 years ago. Now he insists he was never gay, he was just confused, and he's still looking for a nice girl to settle down with.

Go fig.
