“Sustaining leaders involves more than just a raised hand—it means that we stand behind them, pray for them, accept assignments and callings from them, obey their counsel, and refrain from criticizing them.”  -Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day … Read the rest here

As I was navigating my journey out of the closet I was heavily involved in faith-affirming LGBTQ support groups that exist to support the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—and work to carve exceptions for LGBTQ+ individuals in that community.

A turning point for me came when a close friend sobbed in sorrow as he admitted his nightly prayer included a desperate plea that God would bless him to NOT fall in love with another person.

“I see all my friends falling in love…but I’m gay. I’m not allowed to do that. So I plead with God, every night, that He intervenes and prevents me from falling in love with another guy.”

Imagine a culture so hostile that it invites its people to seek divine intervention to NOT love?

We are designed to love and be loved. Your capacity to love is a beautiful aspect of who you are. The journey to self-acceptance is valid, and there are supportive communities that welcome and celebrate simple truths. I can’t imagine a loving God that would want to keep you from something as beautiful as love.

You are not an exception. You are exceptional!

I’ll see you along the journey. ❤️

Your LGBTQ+ friends and family members aren’t the awful things church leaders say about them.

They are happy.
They do have spiritual experiences.
And they aren’t the ones putting words in God’s mouth—and claiming it’s divine revelation.

Latter-day Saints could learn a thing or two by better understanding the LGBTQ community and all they have to offer our world.

Simple. Affirming. Loving. Genuine.

What was missing (thankfully) from this text?

âś… Judgement
âś… Passages of Scripture
âś… Passive Aggression
✅ Mentions of “the covenant path”
✅ Mentions of the “Celestial Kingdom”

Parents, this is a simple and effective way to connect with your LGBTQ children.
