It's Not Surprising He Ended Up at Bigot U

Another objectionable thing about Brent LaMar Top is that he used to harass me for not having interest in Boy Scouts because of my visual condition, unrevealed to me until I was in grad school at Berkeley, that made things such as tying knots essentially impossible.  Of course, Boy Scouts is so incredibly important to the LDS church and its young men that the church has completely severed all ties with Scouting and replaced it by all accounts with pretty much nothing (oh, and of course the church never supported Girl Scouts because the church has always been openly proud of treating women and girls as inferior and less important).  Top LDS church leaders didn't even bother to try to hide the fact that they ended their long relationship when Boy Scouts of America stopped actively discriminating against gay people.  Former car salesman turned prophet, seer, and revelator Russ Ballard tried to justify this obvious homophobia by saying, "The reality there is that we didn't really leave [Boy Scouts]; they kind of left us.  The direction they were going was not consistent to what we feel our youth need to have."

Of course, I'm sure ableist bigot Brent LaMar Top completely agrees.  After all, he chose to spend the last several decades at an institution notorious for literally torturing gay people.
