After four weeks of waiting, my appeal went through--and was approved--and I am now meeting with a fantastic BYU counselor.
He is kind, generous, accepting, appreciative, and above all--wants me to be happy.
I had met previously with this same counselor about three years ago when I first started attending BYU. I am not sure why I stopped seeing him, but now, well...I am ecstatic, to say the least. I mean, he has listened to the Book of Mormon soundtrack (and loves it), and he said, "Why can't you be happy and be a gay Mormon? Can't God love you and your potential partner?"
Gosh...he is great. Yay!
I find it interesting that because he likes the Book of Mormon musical it validates him. Does that make me closed minded if I don't love it?
ReplyDeleteOh let me please clarify though that I am glad you found a counselor you like. :)
ReplyDeleteIt validates him because it makes him not a Molly-Mormon or Peter-Priesthood. You don't have to like it, Tim haha :) I'll let that one slide.
ReplyDeleteI've heard there are quite a few "liberal Mormons" hanging out, or depending on the political waters at the time, "hiding" at the Y.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me super happy!! :D
