[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read on a reddit thread that her dad, who has now come out publicly as being gay, apparently had a reputation in Salt Lake for picking up men to work on his house to try to have sex with them... and that is why the dad blamed himself over this. The poster said it was a "known secret" in the area or something. Is there any truth to this?[/quote]
I [b]don’t believe that. [/b]It sounds like something a homophobic TBM would say to smear someone. He clearly loved his family and would not have been hooking up at home. He was trying to maintain the facade, and he wouldn’t have had the prominence and leadership positions he had if people knew that he was gay. [/quote]

I believe it because the family was Mormon. Young gay men in that church are forced into young marriages by their lay bishops. Or, if out, leave and are excommunicated. There is no room for a gay man in that society so they act out. There’s a lot of literature out there on gays and the LDS church.[/quote]
I’m very familiar with the LDS church. He probably was having hook ups or affairs but there is no way he was bringing men to his family home for sex. Whatever he did he was doing discreetly. This idea that he was picking up men to take to his children’s home for sex is just nonsense. It us not a “known fact” in SLC, and it’s not possible that he would be doing that and have the position that he did.[/quote]
