Crossing Paths

I’m making a list of things that remind me of the gay old days, way back in the mid-1990s, before the internet and cellphones ruined everything. For example, did you ever meet someone and have an amazing

Throughout history, people have argued that giving disabled persons, women, and minorities “equal rights’ was a catch phrase for “special rights.” This is a familiar argument we hear often today in LGBTQ+ spaces. That treating someone equal was giving someone else "special treatment." Real talk: has the equal treatment of people of color taken away any of your rights? To the cisgender, straight Americans: will the equal treatment of LGBTQ+ people somehow take away your right to marry who you love? Will it prevent you from eating what you like to eat? Will those rights prevent you from living where you want to live?It’s not pie, y’all. Equal rights for others doesn’t mean fewer rights for you.#LatterGayStories #RightsAreRight #WeCanThriveTogether #IAmNotTheThreat ... See MoreSee Less

Gather friends and family in your homes and join us on zoom tomorrow night for Allies and Appetizers! Friday October 8th at 7:00 p.m.Allies and Appetizers for October highlights “Coming Out Month”. We will be highlighting one of our favorites couples who recently married! Kent Carollo and Cole Rassmusen. They will be telling us their story and opening up to any questions that anyone may have about them or how to be a better ally. Please gather people in your homes and join us on zoom on October 8th at 7:00 p.m. When the zoom presentation is over please continue to discuss in your homes how we can all be better allies. Here is a brief introduction of both of our speakers!Kent Carollo has shaped his personal mission from a vast array of experiences including full-time missionary work in Arizona, earning a biology degree from BYU-Hawaii, and eventually coming out as gay after a lifetime of commitmenr to the LDS church. Professionally, Kent works as an illustrator, designer and brand consultant, but supporting the LGBTQ+ community is his most meaningful endeavor. Kent's perspective as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, who married in the temple and subsequently divorced when he came out, has helped him build empathy for those who find themselves navigating the intersection of faith and sexuality. It is his belief that reconciling internal discord to achieve personal peace allows us to give our very best to the world.Cole Rassmusen grew up in Spanish Fork, Utah. He is the fourth of five kids. Growing up his family was very close and competitive. Cole grew up playing sports, riding horses, hunting and loves being outside enjoying nature. At an early age Cole found a passion in music and played the viola and violin and sang in a children’s choir that would tour LDS church historical sights around the country for a couple weeks every summer. Cole was very active in the LDS/Mormon faith, as was his whole family. In his twenties Cole was a counselor for Especially For Youth (EFY which is a week long church camp for LDS youth 14-18 years of age). Cole dated lots and made many connections and many friends through college, work, and travels through this decade of his life. But he just couldn’t understand why he didn’t match the same emotions and feelings other guys felt when dating girls. Coming to understanding himself and his sexual orientation was hard to reconcile being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Through a number of experiences and great mentors and friends Cole found peace and great joy in his sexual orientation. He met his now husband Kent Carollo in the fall 2017 and they recently tied the knot and were married on September 4th, 2021. They have found joy and peace in sharing their individual and shared stories with others. And hope you might learn something new with another perspective on queer love.
