Mormon father, 64, of kidnapping survivor Elizabeth Smart Comes Out as Gay, Reveals he is Planning to Divorce his Wife and is Leaving The Church of La

[Turd Fergusen]

Elizabeth Smart's father had a revelation of his own ... he's gay.

Ed Smart says he and his wife, Lois, are divorcing and he will no longer live a lie, insinuating he contemplated suicide while he kept his secret ... "Living with the pain and guilt I have for so many years, not willing to accept the truth about my orientation has at times brought me to the point where I question whether life was still worth living."

As you know, Elizabeth's kidnapping made national headlines back in 2002, when she was 14. She was held captive for 9 months, raped and drugged.
Ed Smart, once a devout Mormon, is breaking from the Church ...saying he doesn't "find solace any longer" from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I hear Gomer Pyle's "Well Golly!" in my head...

Elizabeth is not voicing support for her dad's decision, only saying she's "deeply saddened" that her parents are splitting.

What did they expect her to say, give her least a few minutes to think about it, Good Grief!

I feel sorry for the wife and kids, but a part of me has to wonder "Didn't they ever suspect this might happen?"

 

[Muriel Schwenck]

Not very surprising. He was always an oddball.

 

[Brillig]

I wonder if he always knew and was faking it all along, or if he is the "suddenly realized" type?

Why is this a public matter?

That's what I was wondering.

He will say it's to encourage others to be honest with themselves and family, he's just trying to help those who fear to come out. But mostly he wants attention.
The internet makes it so easy.
I bet many of his acquaintances said "Aha! I knew it!" when they heard about it.

Have had experience with men who come out gay leaving families shell shocked and wives wondering WTF. All too often these guys become toxic hetero bashers.
It is messed up. Like they feel they have to justify why they suddenly long for dong.

I would call him a selfish cocksucker, but honestly not much of an insult to him. Besides, tell me this isn't a gayface...

Poo pusher vibe was off the charts here!

The real heartbreak is willfully putting this family in the spotlight again.
Just go live your life and have the courtesy not to publically crap all over your loved ones.

I could have told him.

I always thought he had a little sugar in his tank.

Not very surprising. He was always an oddball.

What a queer thing to say.

which church counselor was counseling the most important person, the child? Had they been speaking with her they would have known she was still being assaulted!
