As soon as I heard the words “it’s nothing criminal” I thought he’d probably “had one off”, in the locker room perhaps.

Maybe he impregnated her with a turkey baster, like the Fundamental Mormons “do” to their wives?

I guess if he had premarital sex with his boyfriend, that’d be A-OK.

Did they get married? If not, then it wasn’t pre-marital, was it?

We're constantly warned not to be judgmental where licentious behavior is concerned.

Something tells me the media will invite judgment in this case.

At least he is honest. That’s more than I can say about MOST people, “religious”, atheists or agnostics.

Well, I admirethem for their courage. Please don’t talk about homosexual activity if you aren’t going to talk about pre-marital sex. While that may hit closer to home, it’s just as wrong. Talk to the millions of single family households and the now sainted “single mom” as to the effect of this.

Rules are rules.

And some rules are far more stupid to follow than are others.

I'd never buy a car without a test drive or two, or hundreds over at least 18 months if I wasn't sure how fun the car was to live with for a lifetime. . . .

From the longer AP account of the incident:

BYU's honor code instructs students to live a virtuous and chaste life, be honest, attend church regularly and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol, coffee or tea.

Our neighbors are Mormons who attended BYU. They have both a happy marriage and a great family, a real center for the kids in the neighborhood. I've just been teaching our homeschooled daughter about the 6th commandment, and this is a perfect illustration of what it's all about.

Of course, the usual scoffers will tell us it's just impossible to be true to this code, and you could die from not having sex, or whatever--all of which makes it important to keep the honor code in place and enforce it strictly.
