News from The Associated Press: "Evan Clayson came out as gay to his Mormon congregation from the pulpit in Houston earlier this year.
'I was asked to talk about how the Holy Ghost can be a comforter,' the 24-year-old software developer said. 'I talked about relying on the Holy Ghost to boost my self-esteem ... It got a positive reaction. I had a couple of members give me hugs.'
But like many gay Mormons, Clayson wasn't always so open, given the church's stance on homosexuality."
