An LGBTQ Mormon Blog. By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them. December 18, 2016. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Matthew 7:16-20). November 5, 2016. October 27, 2016.

An LGBTQ Mormon Blog. October 5, 2016. At the October 2016 General Conference, Elder Ballard gave a talk. I slept joyfully through it, only to find it recommended to me by a close friend and mentor. It was, and it wasn’t. You may already know the talk. 8216;s crucial phrase: “If you leave, where will you go? The first time Ballard asked “Where will you go? 8221; my mind shot to the terrible years of 18, 19, and 20, when this question consumed my life. Eventually, even though I hadn’t found an a...I had h...

You are suffering from a debilitating and nameless disease, and every doctor you see passes you along, telling you that there is nothing they can do for you. You are in a relationship with a woman who you love desperately, but who loves the sharp highs of anger and fuzzy lows of drugs more. Can be washed away. You get out of...

An LGBTQ Mormon Blog. October 17, 2016. Today I was thinking about the upcoming anniversary of the 2015 November Exclusion Policy. As I was caught up in sadness and anger, Facebook popped up this friendly reminder:.

An LGBTQ Mormon Blog. To Infinity…and Back. October 11, 2016. I remember one cold night in November 2015, I was reeling and writhing in pain from the LDS church’s policy change on same-sex marriages and the children therein. I was hurting from crumbled dreams and hopes of raising an LDS family in the gospel with my future husband. At the end of our conversation, she said “I feel your hurt.”. I love you to the moon. Well I love you to the moon and back. I love you to infinity. 8220;Then I would tell you:.
