Another gay man tragically lost to psychological pressure from the
church and society
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for the dinner and lame title, but I don't feel like bring witty.
This is so horrifically tragic. This beautiful man* must have suffered
an unimaginable amount of self loathing to have come to his final
decision. He lived his life 'right', as he was taught. He played
football in high school, served and honorable mission, worked as an
EFY coumselor, etc. He even worked in the belly of the beast at the
COB, working in the Missionary and Travel departments, and was a
friend to all. Yet he was not good enough for those who occupied they
top floor suites and ran the church he apparently loved.
The fact that he is a twin makes it even more poignant to me as the
father of twins.
I hope somebody gives a copy of his obituary to each member of the
church leaders of the Q12 and 1st presidency. Until they recognize the
intolerable amount of damage they cause, the blood of these people are
on their hands. And I am convinced God will hold them responsible for
the pain they cause.
R. I. P., Chris Beers.

*I am about a 2 on the Kinsey scale and am about as heterosexual as
they come, but this guy was simply gorgeous. How many more brothers
and sisters who surround us at church are thinking this is the only
option left to them?

1973 ~ 2012
Our beloved son, brother and friend left us on March 18, 2012 at the age of 38.
Chris was born on December 18, 1973 one minute before his twin brother
Carrey in Bountiful, Utah. The son of Wayne and Uta Beers. He
graduated from Woods Cross High where he played football and assisted
in numerous sports. He served an honorable mission for the LDS Church.
He later touched the lives of countless youth as an EFY counselor. He
had a passion to travel the world and touched the lives of friends on
5 continents, always serving those he met on his trips. He loved and
lived life to the fullest, always planning another adventure.
Chris had a magnetic personality and all he met instantly became his
friend. He had the ability to lighten the room with his amazing smile.
If someone was in need Chris would find a way to meet and exceed that
persons needs. He truly exemplified charity, the pure love of Christ.
This love for all people carried over to his various jobs, where all
knew and loved him. He loved the years he spent working at the Church
office building in the missionary and travel departments. He loved
associating with those whom he currently worked with at the U of U
hospital. He had a great love for all of Gods creatures, especially
his cats whom he loved dearly.
Survivors include: Parents, Woods Cross; sisters, Debbie (Todd)
Allred, Layton, Kim (Kirk) Bradford, Meridian, ID; brothers, Carrey
(Missy) Beers, San Diego, CA; Willey (Emily) Beers, Logan; 16 nieces &
