Coming Out | I can finally start loving myself

Posted 7 years ago Tagged

When I was around 15 years old, I noticed that I had stopped having crushes on girls and felt exclusively attracted to other boys my age. The realization took some time to sink in – and it was the scariest … Read the rest here

Posted 7 years ago Tagged Boyfriends choir Mothers

I never realized I had to come out as gay. Personally, I have known I was gay since 5th grade. I’ve always been very small, but athletic, not overly feminine, but just enough that I considered the fact I was … Read the rest here

We don’t often hear too many stories about trans experiences and non binary coming out experiences. I wanted to share my story with the blog. I was born and raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. … Read the rest here

Posted 7 years ago Tagged BYU Friends Roommates

Hi everyone! I am 22 years old, and a student at BYU. I came out just a few days ago, and it was better than I ever could have imagined. Here’s my story:

Coming Out | “Honey, I am a homosexual.”

Posted 7 years ago Tagged Affirmation MixedOrientationMarriage Wife

I am an old guy.  I buried my sexuality really deep into the shadows of my life and determined to never allow them the chance to see the light of day. Big mistake. All these years later I am finally … Read the rest here

I started wondering about my sexuality near the end of my 9th grade year: I was 15. I was changing in the locker room after P.E. and was confused by the feelings I was starting to get when seeing the … Read the rest here

Posted 7 years ago Tagged MormonAndGay Mormons YSA

First off, being gay and Mormon isn’t easy.  And anyone who argues different is probably straight and has a leadership calling in the Church.  I am so grateful podcasts and blogs like this exist. It has given me a sense … Read the rest here

I would have to face my fears–at some point.

Here goes my coming out story: I think it was less of a certain case of me needing to ‘come out’, as it was pretty much taken for granted that I was going to be gay ever since I was … Read the rest here

Howard Ashman wrote “Part of Your World” in 1989. He was a gay man living in New York at the height of the AIDS crisis.

After having lost the love of his life and dealing with his own diagnosis, Howard wrote a song about a girl at the bottom of the ocean watching the world above the water. Longing to belong. Wondering if she’d ever get to be part of it.

It wasn’t a fictional story, it was a song about his life.

Real talk. This DM is exactly what swirls in the minds of gay Latter-day Saints [or insert the name of your religion here] when they’re told their only faithful future is celibacy. Never dating. Never marrying. Never building a life with someone they love. Never an option.

This is what you’re promoting when you raise your hand to the square and sustain church leaders who teach this “doctrine”. When you cower instead of speak up. When you choose their uncertainty about eternity over the certainty of what these teachings are doing to people right now.

Imagine being okay with your son or daughter lying awake hoping that God could just break them enough that they would stop wanting to love.

And when you hang The Family: A Proclamation to the World on your wall, they know what it says about the family you hope they’ll have. They can see themselves outside that picture, even if you’ve convinced yourself otherwise.

This is the real currency of religion when doctrine and policy matter more than the people forced to live beneath it: men and women praying for God to take away their ability to love.

Sit with that.
Tell me where you see Jesus in this?

I mean, dang it all to heck, Becky!

The first rule of Mormonism—lace everything with passive aggression—and do it the nicest way possible.

The field is white, all ready to harvest.

For all of our non-Mormon friends…after a Latter-day Saint “applies” to become a missionary, the church will mail or email a letter informing the missionary where in the world they will be sent to serve. For many Mormons the “opening” and reading aloud that letter to all your family and friends is a rite of passage. Becky jumped the gun.

And for the record: I need to meet Big Mouth Becky.
