One cousin who I've gotten to know over the last year or so asked how I resigned because she wants to also! I sent her the link to www.mormonnomore.com. :-)
Basically I'm not gay, it's just an evil "same-sex attraction". As long as I never act on the attraction I have not sinned. This is so wrong on so many levels!
So, I can be gay all I want but I can never have a loving long term relationship with someone I could connect to on an emotional or hormonal level. I would need to be 100% celibate and have to sit in meetings feeling like a sinner because of my God-given hormones and I would have to berate myself for feeling them. I would have to listen to condescending people talk about this being a "trial" and how I could overcome it if only I prayed enough.
Then I would have to hold out hope that in the afterlife, after death, that I would magically change and be rewarded for never acting on this evil force and I would be rewarded with a faithful loving woman for all eternity!
That is soooo weird to me now! I would much rather live in the moment and enjoy each second of my life right now.
Oh... and I have to remember that this high school teacher, in a school of 200 students where everybody knew everyone's business, stood by and said nothing and did nothing while I was being bullied.

what a buncha horseshit!
personally, I would write back to this teacher and mention your last paragraph. bullies should be called out at every opportunity.
while the RC gets a lot of attention, I think the LDS is far more sinister and nasty in their attacks on others; silently controlling things far more than the RC does.
I definitely agree with anne marie: I'd call oiut your former teacher on how her non-actions affected you, and the example she allowed to be set for those around you.
