Grammy Award-winner Brandi Carlile talks about her evolving relationship to religion, how motherhood's changed her, and her new memoir, Broken Horses. "I think the book is me going, 'OK, here's the truth. Here's where I come from, here's who I am. I still dream that I'm back in school and I can't catch up and I can't graduate.' If I just write it all down in one place and I hand it to you, if you still accept me, then I belong here." LGBTQ&A is hosted by Jeffrey Masters and produced by The Advocate magazine, in partnership with GLAAD. @lgbtqpod
