Join me as I speak with famed BYU mascot, Charlie Bird, about his journey with being gay in our Church culture. Charlie shares powerful insights from his recent book, Without The Mask, about how he mustered the courage to reveal his true identity and leave a life of fear and embrace the reality of his sexual orientation. Charlie shares how our personality characteristics shouldn’t be defined as masculine or feminine, but by whether or not they are Christlike. Charlie also shares tips on how to break negative cycles and how to build a safe and trusted circle of friends in and out of the gay community. Charlie breaks through the stereotypes in an effort to thwart ignorance and create more acceptance and a safe space for gay members in our Church community.
