Survivor China Insider - Episode 7 - Todd = Gay Mormon

[004Daniel]

Peigh-Gee, Jamie and Erik were my favorite!

[movieman104]

top 5 best survior winners since 05 since ive been watching. 1 yul 2 tom 3 parvati 4 j.t 5 boston rob . no todd is not in the top 5 best i dont think id put him in the top 10 best either.

[bachmann4president]

Gay mormon is an oxymoron.

[351472]

Utah full of gay guys some have to be Mormon. trust was big time slut when i was there never the same guy twice for over two years had sex about 3 to 4 times a day. I love the whole i never did this before story I think most guy saying believe it.

[sirach]

Which is funny because now there are gay religious people out there nowadays! Including me!

[survivor297]

jamie and erik<3

[vulvoimirela]

i love todd i think he's great...god job on survivor

[John162708]

As a Catholic, I am incredibly embarrassed of the homophobia that people claim is part of God's love. Hate to tell you this but God does not create people with the intention of instant damnation. Why does no one ever want to follow the parts of the Bible that supports love and kindness to all of mankind?

[xonafriday]

I LOVED TODD <3

one of my favorite survivors

[tadge72]

gays and americans love to talk about themselves.

[MegaJoey43]

This is my same story except I never went on survivor. I just am one.

[desertdiva99]

Glad the church could provide him that "smear campaign" edge he needed to get on the show. He has already left the church in his heart and mind, but he's keeping the title just to get attention. sad.

[feelingpeanuty]

@desertdiva99 He made it perfectly clear that he's doing it for his parents. You keep your own smear campaign to yourself.

[dannyb510]

@desertdiva99 mighty goddam judgmental of someone you never met, aren't you?

[ToriAndyErica]

I love Todd!

[buellerferris]

The main problem with Todd is how strange he started to act after he won the game. Now he only hangs out with the "cool people", former survivor contestants and fans. It's like none of us ever existed in his life.

[ToriAndyErica]

@buellerferris I'm sorry :( How do you know him?

[ToriAndyErica]

@buellerferris I'm sorry :( It must be tough

[sepp53pp]

a conservative we have here --- they still exsist these days wow!

[Hotrodrogers91]

You are wrong because you are going against god, not your family, the church is based off god. If you don't want to change that is your own fault.

[THELDSLIFE]

No one is forced to act on feelings that have been cultivated inside the human psyche.

Leaving Satan out of it, anyone can act on feelings that have been imprinted upon the mind. Thoughts lead on to purpose, purpose leads on to actions, actions form habits, habits decide character, and character fixes our destiny Tyron Edwards...

Elbert Hubbard said this,

"Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you

And some will suggest that it's the other way around; no pun intended.

[thesir27]

this is a 'deleted scene' right? i dont remember his gayness ever coming up in any of the actual episodes

[bernieklown2]

The Church is full of hypocrites. Look at the Catholic Church full og gay priest and they preach against gays and at one time burned them alive. So stick with your family and let the church drown in its own swill and lies...

[THELDSLIFE]

I'm not catholic but I can sense when something that is anecdotal is being made into the rule.

The same % exists around the world, if it's not growing, who choose to live the gay lifestyle either secretly or openly.

[SlimShaney08]

He is very cute, and our story is kinda similar, i was mormon

[tdaizzy7]

whats a mormon?

[SlimShaney08]

a mormon is a religion

[twostep2009]

Way to go Todd! That was brave of you to share that with the tribe. I'm glad that your mom loves you and I hope that you love yourself. Everybody's proud of you.

[SentientMajority]

From this video's description: "Find out how Todd deals with being gay and a Mormon as he discusses his lifestyle with his new tribemates."

Strange language some people use when they talk about gay people: straight people have "lives," gay people supposedly have a "lifestyle."

Gay people don't have "a lifestyle," they have "lives" -- which, more often than not, are quite similar to the lives of everyone else.

[mookiecookiebits]

I've never seen this. Ha. I enjoyed it! ^-^

[bigmic82]

As for the words of those 2000 years ago, thankfully God has prepared a way for those words to be preserved so we can have the truth today. Prophets and apostles are not ordinary men. They are ordained of God to speak to man on his behalf. That means what they say is the will and word of God. There are false prophets and apostles so beware. They will say that homosexuality is OK and God doesn't care. He does care and will straighten out this whole issue one day. He will be merciful to a point.

[saze9y14]

God had no part of it. It was man who wrote the book, man who published it, man who spread it across the world and man who converted (usually by force aka believe or die) almost 1/3 of the world to believe a TALL tale while the other 2/3 invented their own TALL tales.

[bigmic82]

Proof comes from God himself. When those who WERE and ARE called of God as prophets and apostles say that a thing is wrong or abominable in the sight of God, they have the authority to say it from the Being who created all of us. We can know all things from God if we will but ask him sincerely. As I said before he loves everybody equally, gay and straight, BUT, he CANNOT LOOK AT SIN WITH THE LEAST ALLOWANCE. Those with little faith always ask for proof. Ask God SINCERELY, proof will come.

[nevadadude1968]

WOW , Very Nice I Applaud You Todd

[bigmic82]

It IS a sin to be gay. God creates everyone the same.....straight. You are very right in that God doesn't make mistakes. He creates everyone the same. We come out of the womb straight and it is the choice of man to become otherwise. We could argue until the end of time but it will get us nowhere. We will all see in the end. God will be merciful but still, he cannot look at sin with the least allowance. Those who don't repent will be judged accordingly.

[tethevo]

Yeah you got that from what? A Bible, that is written by MAN. So you're basically following the words of people from 2000 years ago. How do you even know that those are words from God?

[Tato687]

@tethevo 100 % TRUTH. I always think - HELLOOOOOOOOO it`s written by a group of MEN. it's not God´s words.

[TheDesperateHodges]

"God creates everyone the same.....straight."

Your proof?

[SlimShaney08]

@TheDesperateHodges Haha some people can be such dumb fucks... someone once told me I chose to be gay in first grade or something, I was like are you serious?

[shinigami109]

if everyone is created the same then there should be no genders, and everyone should look, think and feel EXACTLY THE SAME. we don't so that kinda disproves the whole God created us all equally concept

[Cereghini]

We need to remember that the Torah and the Bible were written by the hand of man. It is not a sin to be gay; it's biological. Sodomy is a sin, but not the biological issue of homosexuality itself. God does not make mistakes, so if it were a mistake to be gay, no one would have been created that way. Todd rocks regardless. He's probably my favourite Survivor winner, since neither Ozzy or Rupert ever actually won themselves.

[bigmic82]

I tend to follow the prophets of God, especially those who have such a huge role in Holy Scriptures.

Thank the man above that the confusion that is abounding in today's world will all be straightened out one day and those who have willfully rebelled against God will answer and that is when God cannot look at sin with the least allowance.

I respect what you have to say but I don't have to agree or sympathize with anyone.

[bigmic82]

It is a "lifestyle." You cannot say that a person is born that way. God doesn't make people homosexual and then state in Lev. 18:22 that a man shouldn't lie with mankind as he does womankind. God loves all people but cannot tolerate sin. Yes, homosexuality is a grave sin. It just goes to show that we live in pretty much a modern Sodom and Gomorra. Luckily there are many righteous people living on the earth to save you people from being burned as they did in Sodom. Paul had a lot of biases?

[bigmic82]

We are Latter-Day Saints. Mormon is a character in the Book of Mormon. This guy IS living the wrong lifestyle. The Church doesn't say he's wrong, God does. No wonder his mom cries like she does for him, she knows the consequences that will ultimately come to pass because of what he is doing.

I have been a Latter-Day Saint for my whole life and have NEVER met a gay one. I have lived in Oregon and Utah in my life. The guy who said 75% of the Mormon guys he's met turn out to be gay. He's gay then.

[StewNWT]

just the fact that you call being gay a 'lifestyle' shows how ignorant you are.

And no, God says nothing of the sort. Learn your Levitcus - if you've eaten shrimp or worn polyester you're just as damned as he is. The only other mention of homosexuality in the entire bible is by Paul, who had a lot of biases.

No wait, you're following the book of Mormon and think the Garden of Eden was in the US. You MUST be right.

[Jpmadore1]

You've never met a gay Mormon because they won't tell you about their sexual preference since they know you'd just bitch and moan to them about how much of a sinner they are.

[stherez23]

micheal is just hot...want him to do me

[CreatingTrigger]

What's a mormon..? ._.

[AlaskanSky]

It's really strange how the Mormon church has a disproportionate number of gay people. 75% of the Mormon guys I've met have turned out to be gay. Their faith must be very tolerant or their women must be really ugly!

[blundgrnwood]

Not so sure someone from "Alaska" should be making fun of Mormon women. Most woman live or move to Alaska because it's the only chance they have at getting married. Now thats ugly!

[AlaskanSky]

@blundgrnwood  I'm not from Alaska. Don't be so presumptuous.

[lostismyconstent]

the whole not-traditional-Morman thing seems to be a Survivor theame...

anyone else see what i mean?

[gregorym128]

You are a fuckin Ass!

You should be stabbed and slaughtered because of that one comment!

Let people live their lives and stop hating on them you stupid!

[acloster]

so should people who wish bad upon others regardless of their sexual orientation or race

[nuage7777]

Todd, be proud of who you are and screw the haters!

[lacysorcas]

I know a gay Mormon, I loves him

[butch1026]

fuck all of them tom . live your life you be better off in the long run. what they know anyway. they believe in magical plates and follow a mad man in white robe ,go figure. these delusion run deep. move on.

[notonmypage]

Todd, the whole purpose of Mormonism is to become a God, get your own world to rule, and have lots of sex as a God. Elohim, the God of the Jewish/Christian Bible, had many wives and children, not just Jesus. But gays cannot become God. Find another religion. There may be room for you in your Mormon family but there is no room for you in the Mormon religion, except maybe as a slave to one of those future Mormon gods, maybe one of the cute Romney sons. Hmm, that may not be such a bad destiny.

[XSurvivorRevengeX]

haha ur right Todd neeeds a new religion he'd be good to be hindu - they believe in more than one god, maybe there is a gay one for todd =D

[GSPflip94]

seriously both of you need to get a life,

if Jesus loves you, he loves you for you and nothing else.

[astroguyaz]

Todd, Time to switch religions if you are doing this to make your parents happy.  What about what makes you happy? Search a different spiritual path that is non-dogmatic and strict.

[Dutlass]

Gay is good and Happy Gays Are Here Again - starting in 2009.

[RhythmDroid]

He's a Mormon to make his parents HAPPY? WTF? How old is he anyway??? And the girl is like "that's good"...whatever. Couldn't even finish the video. Somebody point me to REAL videos about non-straight people who are spiritual.

[Tuxster3]

Do something for the sole purpose of making your parents happy?!

What kind of B.S. is that??

If your parents said eating shit would make them happy, would you do it?

Geesh!

[ferdiemac]

this reminds me the movie "Latter days"

[hersheykissesaeg]

leave todd alone. he is what he is and he's obviously had a hard time. if everyone here is just going to sit around and smash his beliefs then these people need help. we all can learn from someone like this. he was raised Mormon, he cant help it if he no longer believes in it. Todd's a great person, congrats on winning! I wish you the best of luck in the future, don't pay attention to the people on youtube. They can't help the fact that you've done something with your life and they haven't.

[kuabci]

whateva87, that's exactly the point... The Church holds the belief that it's NOT healthy and natural. I think Todd's the worst kind of poser, and the worst exposure for the Church on TV so far.

[hypnotstcollector]

"mormon" in chinese is a ghoulish spectre of the underworld. mormons have plenty to worry about concerning the truth. now a mormon homosexual is in china. Maybe the Chinese will hear the truth... good idea. better than here. They have done enough damage allready. why are all "todd"s homosexual?

[antyo]

"part of what I am, not who I am"

Todd's a great role model.

[kraigthorne]

For who?????

[chadandbarby]

I would start asking about where these sword wielding jewish indians were before I even examined my sexuality...you know?

[operationmongoose]

Nice, couldn't have said it better.

[moslemssuck]

Fuck, going to church just to please 'mom and dad' or anyone else is just wrong. You go to church to please yourself. What, if 'mom and dad' will be happy if you shove needles in your eyes every Sunday, are you going to do it? I'm inactive Mormon. My mother said once, "It would make me SO happy if you went to church!" I asked her why she'd want me to put myself through THAT torture just to make her happy.

[hersheykissesaeg]

well if you'd listened, he says he doesn't go to church to please anyone anymore. dumbass

[moslemssuck]

Go fuck yourself raw, you DUMBASS!

[hersheykissesaeg]

you can't come up with a better response than that? you can't back yourself up? wow... rather than defending your statement you throw out some lame, spine less offense... if you can't defend your own words you might as well just admit i'm right

[moslemssuck]

Stick Christ's cock up your ass, you moslem loving cunt.

[hersheykissesaeg]

i'm catholic =] and once again, you can't defend your own words

respect everyone's beliefs,

or better yet find some morals of your own

[moslemssuck]

Fuck you!

[hersheykissesaeg]

when are you gonna realize that cursing me off doesn't bother or affect me any way whatsoever? let me guess what your next response:

fuck off.

am i right?

[moslemssuck]

"what your next response:

fuck off.

am i right?"

No, actually it's 'fucken zee offen'. You bitch! Go suck Christ's cock.

[hersheykissesaeg]

that'd be sinful, sorry. oh wait i forgot you have no morals

[coyclown]

Now, that was totally uncalled for. Regardless of what your personal belief system is, have some decency. Are you so insecure that you must insult others and their points of view just to make yourself feel better??? Come on! I mean really, grow up and get over yourself!

[moslemssuck]

Fuck you, clown. Go shove your cock up the moslemistic niggerist, Hussein Islama Obama's black, islamic ass.

[coyclown]

I see I hit a nerve. ...Well, it shouldnt hurt unless its TRUE. You ARE insecure, and guess what? It SHOWS! All you simply had to do is just open your mouth and let 'er rip. ...Now Im just gonna sit back and watch while you hang yourself with words ...So go ahead, what else have you got to say thats so ULTRA important? ...Speak up I cant hear you!...Thats what I thought. Now either put up or shut up!

[coyclown]

moslemssuck is trying to harass me by sending private messages, but its not affecting me in any way whatsoever. Hes only confirming what I have before mentioned. People like that must really have no life of their own and

ought to start living for a change. He seriously needs to upgrade his vocab!

[tinkerbellS07]

i love todd. so glad he won! ya i know thats not what the video is on...

so what hes gay. THATS GREAT! i have like 4 or 5 gay friends and there the greatest.

[luishernandez08]

stupid

[whateva87]

dumbass

[hersheykissesaeg]

guess what asshole

gay people DO NOT AFFECT YOU. if someone is gay, nothing happens to you. if you see gay people making, YOU personally are not going to hell. its their personal decision, and guess what, the gay community has been around since BEFORE America was founded. So i can 100% guarantee that there was at least one gay man who helped found America. Grow up. Get used to the world you're living in. Act like an adult

[hersheykissesaeg]

guess what asshole

[117asm]

Well guess what,you're responding to a comment that I left 4 MONTHS AGO!!! You're telling me to act like an adult? Grow up and get a life.

[hersheykissesaeg]

well now i'm replying to a new comment. You are blind. the world is changing. you're getting left behind. the rest of America won't care if you're a homo-phobe. And how is replying to a 4-month old comment childish?

[117asm]

It's childish because you're wanting to bring up the past. There is nothing you can say that will change the way I think or believe,and there is nothing I can say that would change the way you think or believe. So,don't even bother. I still hate homos',and you or anybody else won't change that! BTW,the people that founded America were not homos'. Do your history before you post idiotic comments about homos that helped found America.

[hersheykissesaeg]

two words: Benjamin Franklin

he had more than girlfriends in France =]

[117asm]

No he didn't. I heard that story before,so I checked it out. He wasn't a homo,he was just know for having affairs with parlor maids behind closed doors. He banged women,not men ;)

[kraigthorne]

Fact gay men rape other men. That is how it affects people. Not all gay men are rapists, just as not all men are rapists, but as a man I would like it if no one wanted to rape me or other men.

[hersheykissesaeg]

that's the way an individual affects you, not an individual. the same can be said about straight men raping women. that is not biased to the gay community. as a woman i would also prefer if no one wanted to rape me, or other men. that is an INDIVIDUAL evaluation, and has no truth over the community itself. and i looked up the facts, there have been more accounts of straight men raping women than gay men raping other men.

[kraigthorne]

You are way more right than wrong in what you have said. If it were up to me there would be no more rape for both men and women.

[hersheykissesaeg]

thanks. i hope for that too =]

[MohoinTX]

As a gay Mormon, I really do think our church handles the whole issue way better than most other religions.

To sum of the Church's stance, they believe the attractions exist, but you should not act on them. If anyone has any questions, feel free to send me a message.

[whateva87]

I disagree. I think the church's stance is completely irrational. It's like telling a bird not to fly... why repress something that is healthy and natural?

[MohoinTX]

Maybe 20 years ago. They have such a lighter stance, and the strictness they apparently have is often exaggerated.

[kraigthorne]

The church has the same stance on gay sex as they do on meth. I believe that a person having gay sex effects me as much as a person doing meth.

If a church wants to say that owning a dog is a sin and that people who walk dogs near graves need to be killed well...... that is sharea law and I am not down with it, so that is a bad example.

[titto14007]

I think that Its GOOD to show how YOU are not what they want you to be. I am also GAY and in the mormon church. I also Have been made fun of and not a good feeling and I come Home to two Girls and Im the only Guy. how sucky

[xoxshaniatwainxox]

Faggot.

[melbboy88]

Wow, do you feel better being a homophobic, small minded, ignorant "CHILD"

The worlds changing you fool, you either gotta accept it. Or get left behind.

[117asm]

oh yeah!

[coyclown]

Um, pardon me. But your gay insecurities are showing.

[moslemssuck]

The only nerve hit was by YOU when you shoved your cock up dead Hinckley's ass.

[readyjojoy]

i'm a heterosexual. this is who i am. deal with it. thats right i am at less risk of getting aids and i can procreate. i will have a pedigree.

[melbboy88]

"thats right i am at less risk of getting aids"

Wow isn't that what they thought in the 80's

Actually if you look at the current statistics for aids. Hetro's are currently at more risk of catching HIV. Than gays. So your not so safe after all.

[readyjojoy]

thats absolutely false. you should also check out how they discovered the virus.

[thefuckheadsgalore]

There are heterosexuals that can't procreate because they are infertile.

[mormonstang]

Todd was never teased, at least not in school. I knew him all the way through high school, and he never once said he was gay.

[Pasithea]

lol So he's just a liar then huh? I guess he's just trying to play the sympathy card then and get people to feel sorry for him.

[travi360]

he came out after high school. so obviously he wouldnt have gotten teased while he was there.

[mormonstang]

ok, see I didn't know if he was talking about when he was in school or not, so that makes more sense.

[melbboy88]

Yeah, he may of came out after he got out of school. But small towns like the one he lives in has a ability to segregate anyone who seems even a little different...

So, I think you wrong. He was teased in school...

[toddfan13]

todds so awesome

i dont think he is gay

hes so cool

and i love his fohawk in the finale

[rolloffbed]

cant he be awesome, AND gay?

he is amazing, thank god he won!!!

[ThePatriot]

i am pretty sure this was edited hes not gay

[slivertoe]

You hear straight from Todd's mouth several times in this clip that he's gay. Who could have faked that with editing? Pixar?

[RyanHowardPhils]

Why would CBS lie about something like that? Use some common sense.

[xoxshaniatwainxox]

CBS would get a lawsuit for that.Thats stupid--he said that no one else.

[amandarocksyoursocks]

The only way to edit this would have been to somehow dub over what he was "actually" saying with a voice very similar to his, and then synch it up with the movements of his mouth...

[RepublicanValues]

LOL, the Limbaugh dittoheads are flipping out that a gay man won Survivor again!!! Yeah!!

[BrezHurley]

wait when was the last time a gay person won?!

[whitneykathleen]

The first season, Richard Hatch I think it was

[BrezHurley]

oh yeah. righto

[vivilakers]

No fuckin way he's gay! Fuck

[pinkydaze]

I so didnt want him to be gay! I wanted him and Amanda to get it on.

[xkillerkirsten]

gross. anyways, he likes courtney's his best friend.

[tallderektoronto]

yes todd won !

[drevilisevil]

todd won

i wanted him to

he was the best strategic player on survivor

[tallderektoronto]

well said

[hahenson]

well todd one

[HilarySwankfan24]

Aww, I love Todd and I really hope he wins. He is amazing. <3

[Dibrini]

Mike Huckabee would say that Todd thinks that Jesus and the Devil are brothers.

[schizzz3]

Amen Todd. Amen

Remember. Gay Christian is NOT an oxymoron

God dislikes the sin, not the sinner

[htibberon]

well said AMEN

[hersheykissesaeg]

beautifully said

[Zackerxy]

At least youve established Homo Sex is a sin, thats a good start

[Aurras]

He doesn't sound that gay, but I think it's cute that he embraces it.

[erohwswen]

Lol "doesn't sound gay" you obviously watch to much tv if u think gay people sound a certain way

[justiceanne]

omg cant believe he's gay!!
