As “newsworthy” events go, this registers as minor, but it bugs me, so I’m posting about it. I’ve always been a big fan of The Killers, and lead singer Brandon Flowers. It has always been known that Flowers is a Mormon. That is fine. It’s also well-known, to him, that he has many, many, many gay fans. He’s posted this video where he talks about his life, his career, his family and the fact that he is a Mormon. It’s part of the series of videos from the Mormon church that have been spamming us on YouTube for a while now:
Okay, great, you’re cool, you’re talented, you love your family, you’re hot and guess what? You’re a Mormon. But he really never has said whether that Mormonism means that he agrees with his church on issues like homosexuality and Prop 8. I just think he should answer the question. So does Andy, from whom I shamelessly pulled the screen shot above. So come on, Flowers.
Answer the question, and then how about an It Gets Better video? Thanks in advance.
As a 51 year old gay man living in Los Angeles, CA when I was raised in the Mormon Church (never missing a Sunday for 17 years) I always knew at a young age that I was gay when I was coming out after joining the military and went to a drug rehab counsellor whom really helped me and gave me today what I consider was the best advice I have ever received from a health care professional over 30 years ago, he said you can be Gay or you can be Mormon you can’t be both because of the damage it will cause you, I still thank him today for helping me leave the Mormon Church, I lost my family for a while while they adjusted to me being Gay but now are very supportive of myself and my husband of 7 years. Mormonism is a very damaging cult that really can damage young people if you are unable to get away from it. I am so thankful to have been delivered to that counsellor 30 years ago.
Not to be shallow Patrick, but why are so many Mormon guys really hot? or do they just send out the cute ones for the door to door evangelizing? ;)
