I have heard of Stake Presidents challenging their members to not have facial hair which to me is hilarious. Something as trivial as facial hair shouldn't be a sign of whether or not you are faithful. That is just our lovely LDS "culture" rearing its ugly head. I think some people think I have a beard cause I wanna be rebelious. Pahlease. I simply look fabulous with a beard.
I've had a beard so long that if I did take it off no one would know who I was...

Got some really funny looks in the Salt Lake temple once. Couldn't work out why this one guy kept looking at me. A couple of days later our hosts worked out that it was probably the beard that confused him.

I used to wear my beard to be rebellious, now I wear it because it's me...
