facts...very well said

I agree - and I'm so happy for him and her for the support and platform... two phenomenal people

I’m so glad he didn’t kill himself. That actually happens a lot in situations like his.

L,lol Lds

It hurts me so much to hear David talking about wondering if he should end his life. He's a beautiful creation and has given the world so much joy through his gifts. For anyone else wondering the same thing. You're perfect and just as you were intended to be. There's nothing wrong with you. Please live your best life and be your authentic self.

I was about to come on here just to say that

Yes she is. Kelly Clarkson on the other hand... 😄

He's going to have fun in hell

@@jaredstevens5382 wtf is wrong with you

@@hanner3642 Telling the uncomfortable truth

Im not gay & no longer Mormon But see the judgment and facade all around me in LD$ UT

@@rubytuesday1316 funny, I see so much acceptance here in Utah. I am LDS and not gay. But I have a sister who is and a nephew who is.

@@triciac1019 Yes indeed- They even march in the Pride Parade as "Building Bridges" Nine times out of ten as soon as minority turns their backs the judging behind the LD$/Zion Curtain starts ! Ive seen it, heard it, witnessed it!! Of course every LD$bishop, ward, branch, state, city/county run Very differently !

@@rubytuesday1316 yes, some do march. Sorry you can't see the good in people. There really is a lot.

@@triciac1019 your religion is a cult. And it's not acceptance. Its what's Mormons have done best since the beginning. They adapt to the changing times but secretly still hold the old beliefs as commands of god. They have this dichotomy of legal systems. There's man's law and then theres gods law. That psychological trick allows the church to bend with the times and excuse themselves by blaming it on "man's law". But there will never be a time when homosexuality or the descendants of Africans will ever be considered truly equal under "gods law". And that's the mental game you people play. And thats not even the half of it when you consider the enormous sexual and psychological pressure your people put on youth. Its like your cult is obsessed with what people do in bed because you believe it's gods law. But the treatment of homosexuals is nothing compared to the way the Mormons have treated black members for a century. At least you can pretend to be straight to fly under the radar but anyone not white with lilly white skin was historically considered "less than" by explicit gods law and they were banned from any leadership roles until 1978. It was literally Jim Crow before Jim Crow was a thing yet. And even to this day 2/3 of those Mormons walking around your cult actually believe it's gods command to actively oppress people of African descent and with brown skin. Its a despicable doctrine. And all the smiles, marketing campaigns and neatly dressed street preachers won't change the core doctrine. The saddest part is that there's no proof that any of your supernatural beliefs are actually true. Noone has ever presented any independently verifiable evidence the Mormon god is real, that god has ever talked to anyone, or that he's all powerful. You can't test and perform experiments to confirm his existence. Its all just beliefs inside people heads that they convince themselves are true because it feels good to think it's true. And people are addicted to the feelings of euphoria that the lies give them. So they never give it up even if they know it's not true. Chimpanzees do the same thing in behavioral expirements. That's why they're capable of laughter. Because playing along with what they know is not true is funny to them and makes them happy. Religion is like a big joke that makes every one happy even though most people know it isn't true. Lol

We are now using queer again after that was a forbidden word in the 80s and 90s. Ridiculous

@@adamk8197 queer/questioning represents the Q in lgbtq+ friend. These words are only ugly because we use them as such. They don't have to mean such negativity if you don't want them to. Love, my friend, without prejudice!

"I canr desire you, the way you deserve" is the best way I've heard it explained.

@@adamk8197 tonality & intent affect meaning. As does being in community or not. There are still many today who could say queer & it would be intended & heard as a slur. You sound like one of those people who question why white people can't use the n-word

@@adamk8197 I spy with my queer eye 👀! Even queers use it and they don't really take offense, because what for? Why would you make it into a slur when it could be a positive word!

He does love u

I definitely understand you on this

I'm glad you accept yourself ❤️ I walked away from the church quietly back in spring 2016. At the time, I wasn't sure I was making the right decision. I thought, "I need some time... maybe I'll come back..." And then life happened, and years went by. Then, in 2020, the pandemic and quarantine happened, and I was scrolling through KZfaq and found a video titled "Why I Left the Mormon Church." I hesitated. I had never looked at anything like that. But I wanted to know if they left for similar reasons I did. They talked about the CES letter. Didn't know what that was. I went down the rabbit hole. I had to find out more. I found a lot more "Why I Left" videos. I found channels dedicated to talking about it. I found the ex-mo community. I found a story similar to mine, and I cried for hours and hours because when they told their story, in a way, they also told mine. I felt heard. If you leave the LDS church, they want you to think you'll be alone. But you're not. So many people have left and are sharing their experiences on every social media platform. If you type in ex-mormon, ex-lds, or ex-mo, you'll find them.

I dont think you need to look at people for the solution. The bible is clear on God's stance and Jesus nailed all of our sins to the cross so that we can be freed from any sin. He made man for woman and vice versa. He has the keys of freedom. We must fast, pray continually and not believe what the devil wants us to believe of ourselves.

Yes Alastair, see my comment above, there are so many verses in Bible that say our bodies are vessels, but our heart and soul is neither male nor female, you are lived by The One God of the Bible who is masculine and feminine in a perfect blend and Jesus is the example of all those traits..you are loved by God of the Bible and have a great destiny. You might look up MCC church. It is an International Biblical Church for LGBT and many more of them are being started in major cities so there may be one near you.

Jesus is the most Wonderful person❣️😇🌞

Okay

I feel the same way she did an Oprah style interview and she added singing to it❤

Jennifer is going to have every IDOL contestant on the show.

@@Chicago48 and I’m SO here for it 🤗💚

She is an amazing listener, I inspire to be. Wow part of me will want to say something.

It is so refreshing to have a host that does not make it all about them. It's like kicking it with J-Hud at her house!

love her to death but Kelly Clarkson would have interrupted ten times and somehow found a way to make this about her

Yes, good observation.

Yes, a good quality to have as a talk show host!

Like Kelly Clarkson. For example, i love her but she could be a better talk show host

Illuminate The brain I respectfully disagree. I think Kelly's intakes make the guest feel more comfortable and understood.

This comment is beautiful

Exactly I hope he could live his best authentic life and many who struggle in similar situations will too

@@eyesofthebeast - On (certain) videos, some other adults have mentioned "christianity/religion" should be banned. So many "christian/religious adults" commented by disrespecting Laverne Cox, which I wasn't surprised in the 21st century.

A Saint?🙀

@789G thank you 😊. I agree with you 👍🏼💯

@@claireBwiza_4029 right lol

@@claireBwiza_4029 😂😂 yes he is, or used to be, part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day SAINTS, who believe we are all saints(modern day saints) who strive for perfection every single day(but impossible to achieve in this world if you ask me).

Such a waste of energy that could be used for good in other areas. Let good people be who they are!

@@deborahrich2666 I couldn’t agree more 😁

Honestly it’s not even something that needs to be understood. It’s as simple as mind your business and let ppl live their lives.

@@tristyy404well I disagree. The general sentiment of mind your own business is correct BUT understanding what people going through can make you more supportive, more empathetic and a better friend or loved one. “Just minding one’s business” can sometimes send a message to the person that you, on some deeper level, are uncomfortable with who they are.

you know Pedos feel that way. its out of their control to love children romantically. are you proud of them?

it's not always about trophies/awards (which Jennifer always has plenty of) it's about promoting positivity and helping people which is what this show seems to be doing and long as people continue to watch and enjoy it, pretty sure Jennifer will be fine with that..seriously doubt she started this show for Emmy nominations

She'll have to contend with the equally loveable Kelly Clarkson, though! I'm so glad they both have a talk show!

@@paulbernard2785 She’s already an EGOT winner! Can’t do better than that. That’s the most exclusive and elite club in the entertainment industry.

I can tell you right now, no award won’t be given to the karamo talk show. He done. I hope JHud slaps and takes them all.

He's Gay now? Jeez

Damn 3 engagements he's insane

@@freedom4063 Actually I commend him for trying so hard. It CANNOT be said that he didn't do the very best he could to make things work out.

@@bentducks smh

Looks like he did win... :)

He’s a the one thinking just about sex, this is the reason why he step out from church . He is lying because he always was supported for church since he was a teen, he always has callings and even went on a mission and shared a everything with another young boy even though the church knew he was guy. He’s dying for fame, and this is all he got.

He wasn’t “tortured “ … he was privileged.

@@sandramatute4271 Nonsense but, sure! Do you need a “like“ for this?

As a lifetime mo, I commend David's strength and bravery to speak out. He will save lives that the mormon church couldn't give a shit about. They only care about protecting their MONEY and their IMAGE. The LDS church protects child rapists. It has proven in court. The mormon church is a criminal enterprise

@@sandramatute4271Mormonism is a homophobic cult. What are you talking about?

Amen to that Sir!

I always knew as well and I hated when I read comments over the years telling him come out already when it was obvious it was something he was struggling with

Right?? Im not gay and LOVE this story! But I was a Moormon-Came out 25 yrs ago- Time Stamp :36 Literally Everything about LD$ is sex (procreate) money & controll. From a deep diver it still is indoctrinated. Thanks to many, We are rising to higher vibrations of loving a soul for who they are and being true to oneself.

​@@rubytuesday1316 I Think some members have had some hard things to learn, and we all still do. It's hard for us to know all the purposes and intentions of all of God's commandments in all cases. But we do believe and have faith that they are for our ultimate good. What you said is one thing that some members would need to learn (that marriage not just about sex) -- but on the other hand, there are many who misunderstand the real position of the church and most of the members of the church they interact with-- which actually goes right along with what you said- that marriage is about a whole lot more than just sex. It's about man and woman uniting in a way that is complementary and empowering, in many different ways. It's unfortunate for sure that marriage by God's law seems to not be reasonable to be had for all people because of their circumstances. But we simply don't have the authority to redefine marriage because it was defined by God in the beginning. But we know that trials in this life are had by everyone. Very hard trials. Overcoming these trials is a way that we can grow spiritually- but I don't know what this would mean for those with gay feelings and atrraction. Overcoming such a trial might be something that can't really be done in this life. And so it seems that this type of trial is one of the hardest kind to be had in this life. We believe in eternal progession though- and by all we know doctrinally, it is definitely my belief that this type of trial will not be had after this life is over. These can all be very tricky topics to navigate, so I don't blame anybody. We just all need to be very, very patient with one another.

No Praying the gay away! Exactly, exactly!

“Shame never made anybody less gay” also applies♥️♥️

Same. I'm so proud of him.

Fairy? Cmon, let’s not use slurs. Give him the respect he deserves.

So Perfectly said and Ditto! Same here…

This is to thank you for the love & support towards me on my page I really appreciate you. I can’t meet with all of my fans but i make out time to chat with few write me with the email address above to be among the lucky few to stand a chance for meet & greet💕💕💕

Very true…

It's a shame the hurt he suffered being raised in the Mormon church. How does the church feel about causing so much pain as this young man suffered.

@@anthonyboarman3833 it's interesting you say the church caused the pain and above it said psychological trauma. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and we are taught nothing but Love and how to come closer to Christ by Loving All no matter race, religion, gender, sexual preferences, etc. We are taught to Love even if we do not agree with someone else or we are hurt by another. The Doctorine is the Doctrine of Christ to which is a Doctorine of Love and Acceptance. We as members do our best to follow Christ's teachings. But with this knowing each one of us are human and imperfect with weaknesses and flaws which we all try to overcome. We make our own choices and mistakes and feel guilt which does not come from the church or it's teachings but our own choices and decisions. It is all about perspective and when we can see another's perspective even if we don't 100% agree we can come together with Empathy and Love. Hate and Blame and Guilt and Misrepresentation does not serve anyone. Not you, Not me, Not anyone. There is not a "Mormon" church and never was but it was created in people's views of what they do not know or understand or even want to because they are against it. By understanding truth and facts and not creating Misrepresentations you might be able to see another's perspective. I have myself suffered alot of hate, disrespect and physical, emotional and mental abuse since I was a little girl and I can attest it has not been from the "Mormon" church, but those who are misrepresenting with their own views, pain and attacks. It could have damaged me in so many ways, but I know who I am as a Daughter of a Heavenly Father who Loves Me and He Loves each one of You. Christ helped me to rise above my hurt and pain. I will not hurt another to make myself feel better because it never will. That is another's doctorine. I pray that each one of you that choose to hurt, damage or misrepresent look within yourself to find truth and find peace and not continue the Hate you are spreading. Quit the False accusations, Quit the Demeaning, Quit the Blaming and the Finger Pointing. Love Without Fault All You Come Into Contact With knowing None of Us are Perfect, but Always working Daily to Be the Good in this Hate filled world. 🌎
