I can’t believe BYU said today they would rather lose their academic accreditation than ever let gay people date. It’s an incredibly sobering moment of realization for so many of us about the future of the Church.

One of the most sickening parts about this, to me, is how frequently I referenced Elder Holland’s talk “Like a Broken Vessel” when I was actively suicidal because I was a gay member of the church. I read it once a week. What a slap in the face.

BYU once again slapped gay students across the face today. They went back on their word, on personal promises they gave, when they told us gay students would be treated equally to straight students. Of course I’m mad, but more than anything I’m heartbroken. I just want love.
