Op-ed: LGBTQ literature for Mormons
Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2017 7:48 pm
A Mormon missionary in Italy abandons his mission to move in with the Italian man he loves. A conflicted Mormon father is confronted with a transgender son who wants to be his daughter. A polygamist in 1855 Utah is ordered to take a fourth wife, when all he really wants is to be with another man. A virginal gay man takes out a contract on his own life to protect his virtue.
If I could have read stories like these before my mission, perhaps I wouldn't have stood at the railing of a ferry taking me from Sardinia to the mainland of Italy, staring at the water for two hours as I contemplated suicide.

Powerful stuff on the very real harm Mormonism causes.
