There were threads on this board questioning it, the first was taken down for some reason. So yes, some people did guess. I didn't, because I don't like to speculate on people's sexuality. You never know, it's their business and likely has little impact on you. I'd be much more worried if my kid told me they were joining a weird religion, which is funny since I'm posting on a board dedicated to a polygamous family.
shareI didn't see the first thread, but there was probably a questionable post in it and someone reported it. Often times an entire thread will be deleted by administration because of one post.
shareShe spends 3 1/2 years at Westminster College in the Sugarhouse area of Salt Lake.
This is hardly a surprise...

I said I'd feed you...I didn't say who to.
What doth that mean?

Just a little nature vs nurture joke.
She has spent the last 3 1/2 years in one of the most liberal, LGBTQ friendly parts of Utah. A long way from the culture she was raised in.
No surprise her thinking changed on many things. She's been very public with her political views too of late.
Not saying that's why she's gay. Just saying that's why she's comfortable with that fact and coming out now. I know you remember the Mariah of the early seasons.

So your theory is she would stay in the closet if she was going to a conservative school?
shareQuite possibly. Support matters.
Take a guess how many openly gay members of polygamist churches there are.
The Mariah who "wanted to live polygamy" is now openly gay, feminist, liberal, etc.
College expanded her horizons in a way growing up in her polygamist community never would have.
Her past 3 years may not have changed whether she was gay. But it gave her the support.

She was really insistent on going to that school, so maybe that's the reason. It was an odd expensive choice.
shareI highly doubt they was the reason. unlv would have a much wider range of people with opinions and probably a gay community. She certainly didnt need an expensive private liberal arts college for that, in fact, when she orinally returned to Utah for college, she was an active member if their church.
sharebookskds is pretty well versed in this area. It makes perfect sense she would want to go to a school in Utah, close to her relatives and a school and environment where she could examine her feelings and fit in - it makes perfect sense for Mariah. Plus, she may have changed, but she's still spoiled and I think the fact the school is so expensive also fits right in with who she is.
shareBooks unless she us a brown is as well versed as any of us.
To say she went to a private school for the soul reason of exploring homosexuality is a joke. Yeah I mean unlv is a close minded bigoted schoo, where did would never meet any one like her. And she would be do far away from any of her family if she went to school in Vegas, she wouldn't have support.....oh wait, where do her five parents, and majority's her seventeen siblings live? I a, not an expert like you. Perhaps I am mistaken in believing they are in Vegas.
going to an expensive private school doesn't make you greedy or spoiled. I went to a private liberal arts college that one year cost three years of my sisters tuition at public university. Does that make me spioiled?
I guess you've read all the other posts here that support and confirm what was said about Mariah's school and Salt Lake City.

Books, it's good to see you posting here again, I have missed you and the board has needed you.
I have a friend from high school, (with whom I have stayed in contact for the last 45 years) that attends church in Bluffdale with Mariah's grandmother. I knew that during the first year that she was at Westminster she was attending church with her grandmother. She said she hasn't seen Mariah since that first year.
Those of us that have watched Mariah over the last several years have watched her get more and more liberal and branch away from not only her family, but the teachings she learned at the Academy in Bluffdale. Even when the rest of the Brown children started public school in Lehi, she was the only one that continued to attend the Academy.
If anyone is having a hard time it is probably her grandmother, and her fellow AUB members. But the AUB have had a hard time with Kody and his family for a long time.
Good to see you.

That's like saying the most vegetarian friendly parts of piranha-infested waters.
I've lived in Utah. I wouldn't want to be gay there.
shareI would say that for most of Utah geographically, that is still true; however, we are talking about Salt Lake City. Salt Lake is very different that the rest of the state.

Yes, a few threads were deleted that I talked about her being gay in. We all saw her tumblr and everyone was all like "no it isn't hers" because it had a ton of naked women on it but I hate to say it but I told everyone so.
shareWhat is her tumblr?
shareNah, you don't hate to say it, lol. Do you know why those threads were deleted? I saw them, but I thought it more likely that it would be about her education or career.
shareI tiny thing that annoyed the heck out of me about Mariah's scene- If you insist on referring to a room in your house as the "library", maybe throw a book or two in there. Just sayin
~Oh look... a room full of men that have NO idea how to satisfy a woman.~
Going with the old cliche, Stevie Wonder saw that coming. Who didn't know Mariah was gay? I think one of the other daughter's is too but I'm not going to say her name.
I did think it was in poor taste the way she told her family, but I also think she was trying for payback to her mother for the catfishing thing. She's being ridiculous over that.
Joon:you're out of your tree Sam: it's not my tree
So you knew a child on a TV show was gay? How?
