Thanks for posting this. The video was done by Sigur Ros, an Icelandic band with a gay lead singer. I find this a really emotional film to watch, because it speaks to that universal longing of every person to love and be loved.
Please excuse the following colorful metaphors, but nothing pisses me off more than ignorant judgement. Who the hell do you think you are, "anonymous"? Spineless is right...had the guts to cast the first stone, but not enough courage to claim it, eh? YOU are not the author of morality, jackass. Whether or not homosexuality is a sin, you HAVE NO RIGHT to judge someone else. Kudos for having it all figured out, you self-righteous bastard. How about keeping it to yourself?
Love ya, "Not So Usual." I thought the video was powerful and well-done.
I've decided to leave this blog up as a means of sorting through my thoughts...you just so happen to be along for the ride if you're reading...I don't update so often, but a recent want to re-blog has inspired me to revamp things.
So here's my problem: I'm gay, and I come from a Mormon family...I don't practice anymore, but still have a great deal of respect for the church.
I tried serving a mission...It's a funny thing, my mission. I received my mission call in late Feb. '05, to Bulgaria, reported in May, and came home in July (all 2005), on "medical grounds," but that's only a part-truth...I came home because I couldn't handle the feeling of hypocrisy in telling people what to believe, when I wasn't sure I believed it anymore.
It's only now, three years later, that I've reconciled my feelings of depression, have finally come out of the closet, and decided to live life with some dignity, and do it as happily as I possibly can...and I'll tell you: I'm doing pretty well so far.

And anonymity is spinless.
