Mormon Church Leader Reaches Out To Gays

I don’t know much about the Mormon Church, but Tony’s brother lives in Utah and from what I hear it’s gay friendly…at least in the urban areas like Salt Lake City. But I’ve never actually been there…yet. I’ve also linked to a few LGBT publications out there in the past that I’ve found reliable and well executed.

A member of the Mormon Church’s leadership is saying in a new video the words that many gays have long wanted to hear: you are welcome.

‘We want you to know we love you. You are welcome,’ says Elder L. Whitney Clayton in a message ‘directly to church members who experience same-sex attraction or identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual.’

There’s more here. However, as you will see, the entire topic is still not without controversy.

Gibraltar Passes Same Sex Marriage

Sometimes we fail to remember that not every LGBT person in the world has the same equal rights we have in the US.

Gibraltar has passed same-sex marriage in its government with unanimous cross-party support.

The British overseas territory voted on the Civil Marriage Amendment Bill and all 15 present members agreed to pass it into law.

You can read more about that here. I always hope things like this show that we’re still moving forward, but there are still battles left to fight.

Sexually Fluid Nico Tortorella on Dating Men and Women

The star of the TV series, Younger, Nico Tortorella, thinks it’s harder to date women than men. Keep in mind that Nico is what’s considered “sexually fluid,” which basically means he’s dating men and women but he’s not taking on any labels at all…at least not the traditional labels like bisexual. I posted a link below that explains Sexual Fluidity in-depth. It’s too complicated to get into here in a short post.

In any event…

He was pinned down this week with the big question: Which gender is tougher to date?

Tortotella gave it a moment then told Access Hollywood Live hosts – both women – that it is women who are tougher to date.

There’s more here. It’s amusing, and he seems harmless (and genuine) enough.

Sexual Fluidity –  That link will lead you to wiki, which I tend to trust more lately. As I said, it’s complicated but interesting.

There is significant debate over whether sexuality is stable throughout life or is fluid and malleable.
