Kicked out on suspicion of being Gay, he spoke with Apostle Spencer W. Kimball, confessed his past sexual escapades, and promised to get baptized in order to be readmitted to the school. A mission to Central America followed, and then he met his future wife at a BYU summer program in Mexico. A marriage and four children later, his wife divorced him, and Bill was excommunicated, leaving him free to embrace the LGBT community here, becoming a founding member of the Salt Lake Men’s Choir. He retired after 36 years working at the Marriott Library, University of Utah. Bill just turned 80 and has been reunited with his children after a long estrangement."
