They obviously differ from the Church in one specific belief, but still have strong testimonies otherwise.<br /><br />(And I imagine there are also those who don't believe in the Church at all, but who still do their best to suppress their attractions--though I expect these types are less common).<br /><br />The Kinsey scale has its own issues--I'd consider myself a 6 as far as attractions go, but behaviorally I'm a 0 (I've been married 14+ years and have 4 kids, but I've never even held hands with a guy).<br /><br />In all, I'd say that both sexuality and spirituality are too complex to be pigeonholed. But it is convenient to be able to have a general idea of where people stand, so scales like this one do have their uses.

How much of it he believes.<br /><br />The scale is not to represent attendance, but more represent testimony and belief.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900720352902803908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401055091892091482.post-66050825103263366672009-09-23T01:01:25.135-07:002009-09-23T01:01:25.135-07:00It's an interesting idea, but where would you ...It's an interesting idea, but where would you put someone like <a href="http://gayldsactor.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Gay LDS Actor</a> who attends church every week, participates as much as he is able, but is also excommunicated due to his commitment ceremony.El Geniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02801064758712821345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401055091892091482.post-74280490714600558392009-09-22T23:43:11.988-07:002009-09-22T23:43:11.988-07:00Very interesting.
