Gay Mormons?: Latter-day Saint Experiences of Same-Gender Attraction

By Brent Kerby

What is it like to be a Mormon who is attracted to the same gender rather than the opposite gender? How does this fit into a culture and religion centered on heterosexual marriage? In this book, thirty-seven individuals share their personal experiences, offering a window into these complex questions.The intense despair felt by gay and lesbian Mormon youth poses a significant challenge to their families, teachers, and ecclesiastical leaders who love them but who may be unaware of their difficulties or uncertain of how to help. These youth are often among the most devoted to their faith. While these issues continue to be surrounded by controversy, there is a growing need for understanding and respect for all involved. The accounts in this book offer hope and inspiration to those who wish to create a brighter future for their families and communities.The full text of this book is freely available online at https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmUFHty9igX8zry7q1p3h7sTh44824YLZrCfhwH5g7oSkD/
