It’s Thursday and it’s time to #TrashTheStash! We are soooo close to our goal of rescuing 5,000 copies of the Miracle of Forgiveness from shelves everywhere. The most common pushback and negative response I get from this project usually centers around the idea that if you “hate the church” you are going to find books like the Miracle of Forgiveness to “hate” also—and the result of that is an evil, malignant jab at Mormonism. For me, that’s nothing close to the reason why I #TrashTheStash. The Miracle of Forgiveness uses language such as initiate, beliefs, acts, practice, curable, comeback, change, treatments, and recovery (pages 80-89), which teaches that being gay is a choice and a disease/illness. The book’s author (and beloved prophet), Spencer W. Kimball uses the book to teach that gay people are: perversions, ugly, sinners, repugnant, deviate, abominable, deviations, evil, shameful, vile, low, degenerate, unclean, perverted, weaklings, not normal, reprobate, offender, and other descriptors. He reiterates this messaging more than twenty-five times from pages 78 to 88. All that negativity in just 10 pages. We haven’t even discussed the rest of chapter 6. Help us keep ridding shelves of the book that the Church stopped printing but won’t apologize for. #LatterGayStories #TrashTheStash #5000copyGoal ... See MoreSee Less

You’ve seen a lot of fundraisers—and so many of them support excellent organizations. If you’ve benefited from what we’ve done this year with LatterGayStories, I invite you to make a one time or monthly donation. I’m not paid to do this. I don’t want to get paid. I do want to help the LGBTQ+ community find the resources and community they need. We are also expanding LatterGayStories and need critical funding to help realize our vision for the LGBTQ community. Yes, I’m committed to continue to fund the podcast from my own pocket—I made that commitment when I started it. But we can do so much more when we work together and add additional resources to that effort. Thank you for supporting the podcast and the LGBTQ+ community.
