Story By: Adam Mordecai
Meet Jonathan and Dwayne, the happy now-married couple. This is the story of their engagement and wedding, which wouldn't be all that meaningful to you were it not for their engagement happening on the first day members of the military were allowed to march in public pride parades in uniform. And more importantly, we get to meet Jonathan's awesome dad. At 4:48, we meet his dad. At 5:20, we learn why his dad is so amazing. And I try to keep my composure. And at 6:53, it's party time. _ |
I know this is a wedding video, but I'd like to make sure something bigger comes out of it. If you Like PFLAG on Facebook, an organization devoted to supporting families of gay kids, they can continue to get the word out to a larger audience about supporting LGBTQ families. They didn't make this video, but it represents much of what they are about.

Mormon Stories 352: Benji Schwimmer Pt. 3
In part 3 of a 3 part series, Mormon dancer Benji Schwimmer discusses his coming to terms with his sexuality and his religious faith.
Part 1 and 2 Available here, However Part 3 really sums up his amazing story / journey. |
Watchers comment: StewNWT1
Benji, it has been obvious since Day 1 of your presence in the public eye that you are a being of pure joy and a credit to humanity. Watching this emotional and spiritual roller coaster you have gone through fills me with righteous fury - that you had to suffer the misfortune to have grown up in this twisted and gnarled Phariseean construct of a form of worship that degraded so much about you that brings light to the people you love. You ARE worthy - both of God and a man who loves you. |
