Fed up with those wall-to-wall Reality TV Shows about finding the love of your life (or for that night at least), well we’ve come across a real debby downer that came and went some 10 years ago. From TLC (then called The Learning Channel) there was an hour-long special all about a group of Mormon men living in SLC, Utah who were either married to women or pursuing committed relationships with women despite experiencing SSA, a.k.a. “same-sex attraction.” I.E. self-hating homosexuals.

All of the men featured acknowledged that they are, in fact, attracted to other men, and yet they—and their spouses—maintain they are “not gay,” as the title suggests.  Oh yes, they are not bisexual too.

Depends how much you can stomach to watch  there are scenes like the one  where Jeff tells his wife he’s planning to go camping with some guys, prompting a knowing and disapproving look from Tanya. “Not her catching on!,” Hagins remarks. “She’s like, ‘Oh, I know what camping is.’”

If you want to know what happened to this real gem of a show, but when it premiere d in January of 2015, the LGBTQ community where in uproar with GLAAD, labellng it “irresponsible” for “showing content that gives the idea that sexual orientation is a choice.”

We wonder would ut be too evil to have TLC go back and do a’ Where Are They Now. who?  Probably and I’m ashamed to say we would watch it anyway.
