Hi Seth…I applaud you for embracing who you are, and being a voice to be heard. You are destined to make a difference. I think you already have. Sing Songs, Plant Seeds (even metaphoric ones) and Scatter Joy. I hope you remember me; I am a dear friend of your Moms’…heartfelt hugs, Bren

Also, what a douche bag comment to leave.

Have you read any of the other posts on this site and noticed the lack of spelling, grammar or capitalization errors? Seth’s blog is incredibly intelligent, and I think we can forgive a typo here and there. Speaking as an editor, your attitude and condescending nature towards this thoughtful and otherwise perfect post bother me more than the incorrect usage of its versus it’s.

That line was a cut and pasted from the film’s website. I did not write it, although I should have caught the error, but I did not. Thank you for pointing it out. I have corrected it.
I am a self proclaimed grammar nerd and I know the rules of contractions including the difference between the possessive “your” and the contraction “you’re” and the difference between “their” (a pronoun) and “there” (a demonstrative pronoun or adverb, depending on how it is used) and “they’re” (another contraction, ‘You are’) and the simple “its” and “it’s.”

The possessive pronoun “it” is “its”, not “it’s”.
The contraction “it’s” is the same as “it is”.
When you get either of those two words wrong it makes you look stupid and uneducated. I can tell that you’re (note: not “your”) a smart guy, so get these right in the future.

Since you are, or were, a Mormon, I’m surprised you failed to uniformly capitalize that word. I’m a Mason, not a mason, which means that I am a guy who puts on a weird ceremonial apron at lodge meetings rather than than one who works with brick or stone.

Grammar, spelling and punctuation make a difference.

Keep up the good work!

Biggest disappointment of this video (which I watched the other week when posted on another blog): when that Seth guy, my favorite interviewee, revealed he not only lives far away but is already with someone he seems committed to, and rightly so. Shucks. It was an interesting video and covered quite a bit of ground in a short time. I’d make a couple of edits (flow, reduce dramatic pauses, the music that starts when you say “he was so cute” that has a sort of ‘dirty’ feel and seems like something TBMs would insert when the gays start admitting to lustful thoughts *wink*), but I love that people put the work into making it and being interviewed for it, and I think it’s nicely done. So…thanks for being interviewed!
