Ed Smart, the father of kidnapping survivor Elizabeth Smart, posted on social media Thursday that he is gay, divorcing his wife and doesn’t see a place for himself in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

In “one of the hardest letters I have ever written,” Smart wrote in a Facebook message to family and friends that “I have recently acknowledged to myself and my family that I am gay.”

I’m not defending the ideology. It’s just suspicious that the vast majority goes against the minorities.

So, when in history has that ever happened before?

It’s so easy for the majority to hate any minority, which is why we have a republic and not a democracy.

Think about it.

I think he's been homosexual since day one....he tried to be the typical good Mormon and pulled it off for a long time.....

when all this went down with the abduction, he made some reference to cavorting with other men....it struck us as strange back then....

creating babies doesn't take much.....gay guys do it all the time and they can be monogamous up until they decide they want to be promiscuous....with men...

I think Smart went willingly....apparently she and other girls had met this creep from what I remember.....she probably thought it was an adventure....

I DO NOT BLAME HER AT ALL.....she was a young naive girl who listened to her elders.....

but I do wish the cops had actually looked into the splinter Mormon groups in the area and she could have been rescued earlier....as it was, she was just walking down the street when she was "found"..

... and then she lied about who she was when ‘rescued.’

I've thought about it plenty; in fact have done extensive graduate research on the devolution of sexual morality in the U.S. among many demographic subgroups (and both sexes) as a result of the so-called "sexual revolution" of the 60s and onward. You will not convince me by glibly slinging the "hate" word around like all the other leftists.

If you don't like the FR owner's stand on homosexuality and this being a nation under God as expressed on the home page of FR, why expect any sympathy for your defense of husbands on the down low, or any other form of self-indulgent betrayal of the family.

You cannot make actual moral equivalence with a shell game of "this looks like that." Whenever a leftie is losing an argument, it's just a matter of moments until the Hiltler comparisons. Spare us.
