Open-minded

Today I came across this blog entry from a blogger who lauded himself for his kindness and open-mindedness.

I figured, since he was talking about something which has direct reference to my life, I'd comment.

So I did. In essence, I thanked him for opposing bigotry and hatred toward homosexuals, and also for sending his words to the Daily Universe. I mentioned that it was nice to hear from one who advocated love and open-mindedness. I posted my comment beneath all the loving, supportive comments from members of his family and friends--all so very glad that he was willing to accept everyone and love them in such Christ-like ways. Dad was very proud he'd raised such a son...

He deleted my comment. Granted, I signed it "An active LDS homosexual," but still--he said he was open-minded. Apparently not open-minded enough to follow through and find out more. Nope. He just deleted me. Perhaps he's open-minded as long as he doesn't have to encounter any of "us". Sounds to me like a church-wide malady.

But I'm thinking it might be nice if a few more of "us" visited him. Just to say nice things. Just to encourage love and open-mindedness. Don't give him reason to justify deleting comments--make sure they're positive. Love him to death...
