    About Me

    I've got a wife and children - and I'm gay, which makes me an enigma. Plus, I'm a member of a church not known for being gay friendly making me a Mormon enigma.

    A child is listening

    "There are children like Bobby sitting in our congregations. Unknown to you, they will be listening to your 'Amens' as they silently cry out to God in their hearts. Their cries will go unnoticed for they cannot be heard above your 'Amens'. Your fear and ignorance of the word gay will soon silence their cries. Before you echo 'Amen' in your home or place of worship, think and remember...a child is listening."
    -- Mary A. Griffith
