I was doing my evening scroll through Reddit 😂😂 and came across a post from a lady asking for advice about navigating life (amicably) with her gay husband. She had just learned she was in a mixed orientation marriage.

Relatable.

Of the 194 comments, at least half of them had a common theme. Can you guess what that might be?

Nearly half of the commenters also had a gay spouse. They too had experienced a mixed orientation marriage while Mormon.

Let that sink in.

This is a much bigger topic than the church is acknowledging. Much. Bigger.

We need to do a better job at providing honest advice, quality resources, and OPTIONS to these families. Your whole future is ahead of you. You and your spouse deserve happiness.

Happy Pioneer Day!

Luke Carter and William Edwards, two Mormon pioneers, embarked on a journey with the Martin Handcart Company towards what is now Salt Lake City.

Their story goes beyond the challenges of their expedition—and their experience isn't told in faithful Latter-day pioneer circles—because it is believed that Luke and William were more than just travel companions, they were lovers.

Josiah Rogerson, an immigrant who traveled alongside them, recorded their story in his journal. As the group passed Fort Kearney, a rift had developed between Luke and William, leading to unpleasant exchanges. Physically, William was tall and delicate, while Luke was sturdy and robust. Luke had been shouldering more of the cart's burden to ease William's strain. However, on that fateful day, William expressed his exhaustion and desire to rest, even suggested he wanted to "dee" (die).

In response, Luke, frustrated by William's pleas, retorted sharply, urging him to "get out and die" if he wished. The cart came to a halt, and Luke lifted the hand-shaft while William walked a short distance away. Within minutes, William lay lifeless on the prairie. The group paused briefly until the captain arrived, closing William's eyes. They placed his body on a lightly loaded cart, covered him with a quilt, and continued to the noon camp, where they laid him to rest west of Fort Kearney.

Coincidentally, not long after William's passing, Luke died as well—despite being the physically stronger of the two, it is speculated that grief over losing his tender-hearted companion may have hastened his own demise.

While the extent of Luke and William's emotional and committed relationship remains unclear, their partnership as they pulled the handcart together exemplifies love in action. Their experience transcends societal norms and reminds us that love knows no boundaries.
