UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

GAY BYU STUDENT

DEEPLY CONFLICTED

Andrea Carver, who has a gay brother, prayed when she realized that her son was also gay. The response, she says, was to love her gay sibling and her gay son unconditionally.

Andrew talks about what it's like to be gay and Mormon at BYU. "It Gets Better," Andrew tells other Mormon LGBT youth.

Jacob, a gay returned missionary and BYU graduate who is active in the church, talks about serving an LDS mission and refusing to undergo "reparative" therapy.

Gay-friendly Mormons to March in Utah Pride Parade

Contact Erika

Two Mormons from Utah, Craig Janis and Erika Munson are gathering a group of LDS faithful to march in the Utah Pride Parade on Sunday June 3.

“It seems unfortunate that in a state celebration of diversity and tolerance the LDS community is silent,” writes Erika. “We envision our presence less as a statement about the Church's policy on homosexuality and more an opportunity for each of us to show our love, support and acceptance of the LGBT community. I believe it is particularly important for gay Mormon youth to know that there are fellow church members who love them for who they are.

“So I see some We Love Our Neighbors signs, and us in our church clothes with our families (youth, children and strollers encouraged) walking and walking like our pioneer ancestors. It would be absolutely wonderful to have a nice big bunch, so no one can say ‘Look! It's the three tolerant Mormons in Utah!’

“This group is not sponsored by nor will it represent any particular political party or caucus.

“Please forward this message to any and all you know who might be interested. To cover all our bases we are posting this as a Facebook event so you may receive an invitation that way too. Please reply as soon as possible if you want to join us so we can start to get a sense of the numbers."
