I thoroughly enjoyed the video I was recommended, so much so that I spent the entire morning going through his back catalogue of videos, and after I post this, I will get out some nail polish and sit down to watch his hour long lecture &#8220;What&#8217;s Morally Wrong With Homosexuality?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to pass on my recommendation to you, if you don&#8217;t know him, to have a look at what he has to say. Yes, he&#8217;s gay, but we won&#8217;t hold that against him; like a lot of gay things, it is still relevant to us to engage with conversation about same-sex relations (even though we cannot conceive of only being attracted the just the same sex &#8211; weird). He&#8217;s a philosophy professor, he is handsome and charming, very articulate, and simply likable. His humour is also topnotch, and he wrote a book with an anti-same-sex marriage campaigner, so he must have significant patience and a kind heart.<\/p>\n<p>He even mentions us! This is the specific video that I&#8217;m going to post for your first dive into his style of vlogging:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"281\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yHJ2_J0b4tM\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Have look at it, and if you like it, I heartily recommend that you browse his channel to see if he covers any topics that take your interest. My goodness, do I wish my videos could turn out half so well &#8211; but of course, I&#8217;m a twenty-one year old student, and he&#8217;s much more experienced and has a PhD, so duh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ve ever encountered John Corvino &#8220;The Gay Moralist&#8221;, but I hadn&#8217;t until today when he popped up on my Youtube &#8216;What to watch&#8217; recommended videos (based on what I have watched before).
