Sexuality #159

What is it like to be gay? Am I alone in this journey? How do I reconcile my faith and my sexuality? Is leaving my religion to find happiness even possible? Welcome to Latter Gay Stories! We're a podcast featuring real people, real stories, and real talk! We discuss life inside and outside of the closet—and living your best and most authentic LGBTQ+ self. You are not alone. You are not broken. And your best days are ahead. Most of our guests have a background in Mormonism and we discuss how a variety of religious traditions influence the queer journey.

    Black Menaces, such an important perspective
    Amazing to hear from the Menaces. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
  • BritBec
    Invaluable
    This podcast has been a lifeline for me. So well done. Thank you. ETA: I’m still eagerly awaiting new episodes whenever they drop, three years later. Such great content. Really makes me feel less alone.
  • Mary (very lucky Mom)
    Appreciation from a parent
    Thank you for your willingness to be venerable and open about your experiences. One of my young kids is more than likely trans (he likes to dress feminine and relates to female characters (he won’t have anything to do with most male characters). In his play he always chooses to be a female character. He has autism and communicating complex abstract ideas and opinions is very difficult for him. Episode 158 with Chris helped me understand a little better what he might be feeling on the inside and how to phrase questions to him and relate to him from a more educated point of view so I can better understand who he is on the inside and support him in being his (or her) most authentic self. Thank you Mary

    Excellent
    I love hearing these stories. I truly believe as we share and listen to each other’s stories, we can learn to love and respect even those who live and believe very differently than we do. As an LDS woman I am really gaining a lot by better understanding The LGBTQ+ community. This podcast is one of my go-tos for learning and understanding better what me lgbtq brothers and sisters in the gospel are experiencing.

    Excited for this!
    We stumbled upon this podcast after seeing a post on Facebook. This message is so desperately needed. As allies to the LGBT community, we support you 100%.

    Very needed!
    I’m happy to find a podcast that talks about difficult topics surrounding SSA and being Mormon. I’ve loved season 8!!!
  • Khyile
    Love this podcast!
    I’m so glad this podcast is back for season 8! The website and podcast is full of great info for gay Mormons and even for those who’ve left the church.
