Thanks to Affirmation for posting these personal stories

I'm very grateful to have heard from many of the readers about my previous post about the Mormon Church and our movement's relationship with it. I received many passionate, heartfelt responses, many of which were strongly opposed to my stance, but which I was still grateful to hear from.

As a person of color, I often fight the false choice the LGBT community sometimes forces on me about whether or not my identity as South Asian and my identity as a queer man can co-exist. I feel a special bond with LGBT Mormons because I feel that they also are told by both the Mormon Church and the LGBT community that they're an oxymoron.
