LGBTQ Mormons may not be a good fit for the LDS world, but there’s plenty of room for them elsewhere. A budding feminist tries to make a political statement by giving birth to her 'illegitimate' son in church just before Mother’s Day. A gay man works with unhoused people in Seattle while taking care of a terminally ill partner at home. A lesbian couple fight internalized homophobia that has them questioning if their desperate financial situation is a punishment from God. A man trains himself to stop praying. A gay man falls in love in Morocco. Another man learns his boyfriend was at a nightclub when a mass shooter attacked.Few of us are a perfect fit for the culture we’re born into, yet even as religious intolerance makes a desperate comeback attempt, there are good, like-minded folks everywhere. And love always wins in the end.
