In this episode, I go more in depth into the beginnings of my show Welcome to Zion and why its premise matters. It's no secret that LGBTQ people can often feel on the outside of their faith communities, for many reasons. There is no denying that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - aka Mormon or LDS - has an especially troubling dichotomy between what is taught to be necessary for salvation and the experience and mental health of its LGBTQ members. Why is it so distressing to be a gay Mormon? Come listen to me - a straight quasi-Mormon - discuss how I am trying to bring much-needed light to this urgent issue.
