He/Him. I’m Jay and I’m going through a divorce from a monogamous mixed orientation marriage I entered because of the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS/Mormon

We excommunicate gays for love. When was the last time someone was excommunicated for hate? Will the inner vessel be cleansed of racism? Of verbal or physical abuse of spouse, child or marginalized? Will the least of these continue to be turned from our faith? 1/

I’m in SLC if any of my friends here would like to try to meet. I’m flexible today until dinner time and may be able to meet tomorrow afternoon or possibly Tuesday evening also.

Warning: This is a Father's Day lament into the void of cyberspace. Do not read unless you really want to hear me whining. You've been warned. Father's Day sucks. I'm confident I'll never be a father. My parents divorced when I was 2 because my father was abusive.

🌈Life is vibrant and fulfilling when I’m not fighting who I am. I wouldn’t have believed it for the years I struggled to balance my sexuality and the internal homophobia I learned from religion & culture. I don’t know who needs to hear this right now but you’re not alone. 🫂

Some members of the church hate us, the LGBTQIA, simply because we exist. Until that hate is gone from the members, the leaders have not done their job. They will not be received as easily into the kingdom as they think they will. They are not doing enough for the least of these.

@Papa_Ostler There are so many closeted people hiding everywhere in plain sight. And we are grateful for affirming people who are helping people understand. Thank you from a closeted grown up. If as a youth I knew someone cared about me like you just shared my life would have been blessed.

When I see a pride flag, I think of closeted queer youth—and the message of hope and support it sends to them. Giving a closeted queer youth more hope and support is a good thing 🏳️‍🌈

When straight Mormons get divorced it’s their own damn fault. When a gay Mormon like me gets divorced from his straight wife, it’s the church’s f*cking fault.

Hey Utah gays-this weekend are there any events happening? Last time I went to a drag show by BYU which was nice. Wondering if there’s anything else going on to check out or maybe it’s just a weekend to find folks at a good watering hole.

Hey Northern Utah friends. Who’s around Memorial Day weekend? I’m thinking of doing a holiday weekend drive. Would be great to meet many of you and figure out what this place Milk you talk about is like on a Saturday night.

President Oaks: "Members of our faith should express homophobia and transphobia sufficiently enough that such individuals feel it necessary to leave the Church. . . but the Savior does not desire us to be so homophobic that their straight parents and siblings leave with them."
Tad Walch@Tad_Walch

President Oaks speaks about same-sex attraction and gender dysphoria: "Anyone who does not treat individuals who face gender identity challenges with love and dignity is not aligned with the teachings of the first and second great commandments." @Deseret deseret.com/faith/2023/5/2…

@trotvygot @gwaltcarp Mine was. And when I told her the light went on and the dots connected. It’s taken 2.5 years to get to separation. So it’s a process. Many it’s faster. Within months. Ripping the bandaid may have been better. But I wasn’t ready. Neither was she. And now we are.

If you're a gay person in the LDS church, my only advice I can give you is get out as fast as you can. Don't end up like me and bring kids into this world in the context of a marriage built on sand and inauthenticity. It's absolute hell.

@jwedge9 @gwaltcarp I think it's harder for me to see it that way because on the outside she and the kids seem happy. It's me who feels like he's deteriorating.

@trotvygot @gwaltcarp I thought I was sacrificing myself for them to have it better. It deteriorated my relationship both with the kids and my wife. Living inauthentic destroyed me along with my relationships. I’m slowly rebuilding them with the help of a relationship coach (in addition to therapy).

@gwaltcarp @jwedge9 💕 I'm glad you've been able to have that. I'm truly lucky to have the kids I do, and the spouse that I do. I just wish I could make things easier for them.
