My therapist really loved my pitch for a Mormon murder mystery novel!!! It’s called The Gadianton Conspiracy, and I already have about 1k in the first chapter so I feel like it’s going pretty well!!!
It’s about two gay boys being resurrected so they can solve their murders and stop the killer before anyone else is murdered. And one of them is a trans boy 💅 because I’m exploring the intersectionality of queerness and being a faithful member of the church, and how to live your life with ✨queer joy ✨despite the hardships of this life
hey! hope this isn’t offensive, but i was wondering what it’s like to be NB and bi in the Mormon church. Are you out? Does your community respect your identity? I’ve heard about Mormons sometimes being pretty bigoted so I was curious what that’s like for you.
Hey buddy!
Thanks for the question, definitely not offensive but boy howdy is this a complicated question to answer.
So, I've been out as bi since 2016, and out as nonbinary since 2020. I served a mission for my church and was very open about being bi the whole time, and I attended BYU (a religious LDS university) as a nonbinary person.
I wouldn't say either one was easy, but there were a lot of really cool people I met who made it easier.
I have had bishops who were very understanding, one in particular was a trained therapist and was well informed about queer issues, and hopes that gay marriage will be allowed in the temple one day. I had a lovely ministering sister (kinda like assigned friends???), an older lady who took me under her wing and watched queer eye with me and listened to me when I had to cry or vent about homophobia in the religion as a whole.
I gave a talk in sacrament meeting (in front of an apostle!?!!!!) where I talked about being queer and the pain I feel because of unfair church policies and I was hearing from people for months how touching and meaningful my talk was.
There was a lovely family who hosted gatherings once a month for queer latter-day saints to meet and find community and belonging. I'm now part of a small group of trans Mormons who meet up every other week to have our own Sunday school. There are so many queer Mormons on this website who have given me support and community when I've needed it. I'm part of an leftist organization called Mormons With Hope for a Better World, and many of the members are queer in some way.
I guess in conclusion: yeah, as an institution the LDS church is homophobic and transphobic and they keep instituting policies that aim to keep it that way. But there are many many individuals who are fighting for change, some in little ways and others loudly. There are many people who are willing to learn and be inclusive they just don't know where to start. I love my religion and I want to practice it in community. I know it's not everyone's fight, but for me it's worth it to keep pushing back and carving out spaces for queer Mormons. I won't let the cishets forget I exist. I have just as much right to sit in the pews on Sunday as they do.
Partner might read the BoM, he's about to discover the phrase "and it came to pass" very excited for him!

tumblrstake how are we feeling this sunday
(image description under the cut)
Most of you know that I cofounded and help moderate @ldsqueerstakeofficial and the discord server QueerWard. Every year for April Fools, the mods spend months planning a theme to prank everyone with. Throughout March, I take the time to photoshop together profile pictures to match the vibe. Last year we had Sith Lord Jesus and the Counsel of Jedi Apostles... this year we have tinder tropes jesus. I will share the tinder tropes Jesi tomorrow [they are most excellent], but I wanted to share last year's, since they are really cool to look at.
