 Re: Gay Mormon hoped suicide would help change church
This article states that the Gay Mormon Man realized that he was gay when he was seven years old. This statement in his letter illustrates that he was very troubled at least from age seven. But, no seven year old has any accurate indication of being gay or straight.

 Re: Gay Mormon hoped suicide would help change church
It is amazing to what lengths gay will go to rationalize their condition. Although one must admire Matis to the extent that he refused live the gay lifestyle, it is incredible that he would make the statement that "God never intended for me to be straight." Unless he was born with ambiguous physical gender characteristics, one would have to absolutely believe that God does plays tricks on some of his poor children or that His prophet is just badly misled and entirely insensitive to the needs of our homosexual brothers and sisters in order to buy into his conclusion about himself.

 Re: Gay Mormon hoped suicide would help change church
When he took his own life by shooting himself in the head last week on the steps leading to his church, Stuart Matis also left this world with a hope in his heart. In his suicide note, he wrote, "Perhaps my death might become the catalyst for some good."
