My Stepfather got a shoutout from Astronauts in space . During one of the Apollo missions , may have been Gemini , there was a problem and my Stepfather who worked at the time at Applied Physics Laboratory made a suggestion which was relayed to the Astronauts . One of them replied Hey tell Bill last name thanks , that worked . Another time , at a top secret meeting at NASA where my Stepfather needed to have an escort , he waited till he couldn ' t wait any longer , and told his escort , Neil Armstrong , that he needed to use the bathroom . Armstrong replied I have to go too and so they did . <| sep |> I am . Honestly I ' ve been out for three years , made it official a year ago . I had gotten to the point where I didn ' t need to vent about mormon shittiness and guilt etc in my life . I was happy . But then this went down and all the freaking churchy guilt my parents could lay on me they did . Ugh . If my father sends another damned come back to Jesus letter in their Christmas card it ' s getting returned to sender . Hell I may return to sender anyways . I ' m 30 . I really do not need to be told how to church , what to believe , what to wear , and how to be a decent human being from someone who thinks gays are so terrible he almost beat to death one of his kids that he found out was bisexual . Literally cracked ribs and concussion beaten . Had to be dragged off . The same man has defended his pedophile brother at every turn even shaming his victim and causing them to be shunned by most family members . He ' s a fucked up piece of work that is in high standing in the mormon church . People used to tell me they thought he ' d be a church leader in salt lake city if he only shaved his beard . Yeah .
