No, everyone, this is not how Mormons treat gay people. Mormons are pretty swell people. This is more about hypocrisy in general and we just chose Mormonism as our example because, well, most of us are. And I think it's pretty obvious we were going over the top at any rate.

Mormon gospel tolerance ends when it comes to the 2ond commandment to love your brother. Truth be told, it doesn't matter if your brother is blind, crippled or crazy, you're supposed to love him.

Whats is wrong about being gay, to tolerate a person?

OMG I loved this video. As a gay atheist from Provo, this was about as awesome as it gets. The comedy is almost overwhelming.

There's a pretty obvious line between sexual attraction/infatuation and showing pure love to your fellow man. Mormons are taught to treat everyone as brothers and sisters, since according to their doctrine, everyone is brother or sister in spirit.

Nay, sir. I am but a friendly goof recorder.

Have to say ... as I was watching this video, I kept thinking that the two mormon guys had a gay connection .. I kept expecting them to come out to one another and tell each other that they had romantic feelings toward the other. The fact that they both attacked the gay guy at the end, doesn't even change my thoughts a bit. The most homophobic people on earth are self hating closeted gays themselves.

The truthfulness of morminism is unassailable (as long as you don't challenge it).
