While we are on the subject, doesn't that Asian Chick have the head of someone who is obese but a thin body?

Eh... I can sort of see what you're talking about, but I don't think so. She does look interesting though. Too bad I don't think she actually says her name... I'd like to know what flavor of asian she is exactly, and a name might have helped with that.

Even I haven't even seen any eyes like that. The video was full of distracting characters. I really really really really hate to judge looks, but one can only imagine the reason why these people are gay. I don't have a problem with gay people, but did they give up on finding someone straight or something?

As long as they aren't having sexual relations they aren't doing anything that would keep them from gaining their ecclesiastical endorsement.
Correct. Here's kind of a summary on LDS belief about that. Basically, the church teaches that having homosexual feelings is not sinful, but acting on those feelings is.

I watched this video this morning. I have to say, I feel bad for those students and I'm glad that more and more people are educated.
I really wished the world we lived in was less ignorant and more tolerant.

Huh?
Tolerant?
BYU might be the most "tolerant" place in the whole United States. When was the last time you ever heard of anyone being beaten up, shot at, or mugged there? Race, sexual orientation, etc are treated much more intolerantly at other universities.
Does BYU have an Honor Code that COULD potentially be embarrassing to you if you screw up? Sure. But who forced you to go there? You CHOSE to live by a certain standard. IF you cannot or do not want to abide by the standards they have put forth, then leave!
it could be a lot worse. Just look at cases at Duke, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Cal, etc.... Students are constantly being beaten up, harassed, or accused of much worse things.
BYU students might be ignorant of some things. But I'd rather receive a note about my "inappropriate dress" and how my clothes gave someone bad thoughts than be beaten up or harassed because of my skin color or sexual orientation. Which is what typically happens at every other university in this country.
Once again, BYU gets a bad rap for its religious affiliation. What the enemies of the church won't do to hurt something they refuse to accept.
BYU is a very special and unique place. Tolerance is something that BYU and Mormons in particular have a lot of. Most of Christianity is saying that kids are going to hell and that Mormons are possessed by Demons because they believe in the BOM and that homosexuality is a one-way ticket to hell... Mormons believe in children being saved and not blamed for Adam's transgression. Mormons believe in both the BOM and Bible. And Mormons teach and believe that transgressions (actual actions) are causes for repentance. NOT having temptations to commit x with x.
In regards to this video, I think it is great! Look at how many "straight" Mormons are reaching how to their fellow homosexual members and students? Where else do you see this? Fellow members reaching out to other members. Helping them to not feel like crap or commit suicide. In fact, this is what I got out of it. It was a reach out video for support and positive thinking. Don't commit suicide.
I repeat, where else do you see this?
Certainly not at TCU. They were going to provide gay housing (and hetero could live there too) for students... But public outcry was severe, so the plans were cancelled.
Perhaps TCU needs a video of, "It gets better at TCU."

Of course, we all know that Mormons are intolerant and other Christian denominations are perfectly tolerant... As are all other religions. As are all other people without religious affiliation!
Mormons stink! And have horns!

I'll take your word for it. I really can't tell the difference between Japanese, Korean, Northern Chinese, Southern Chinese. I was trying to google some face comparisons, but mostly it comes up with faces for models and pretty people that don't actually help my cause very much.
