Latter-Day Lesbian

This episode features a letter from Elizabeth. She's a never Mo, ex evangelical...which is also fun (uh, that was sarcasm). Her minister compared her interest in women to his interest in murdering people. Sounds like a great guy (also sarcastic). Give a listen, won't you?

Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you! So please get in touch with us through our website at http://latterdaylesbian.org/contact. We'd love to hear from you. Thanks!

In this episode we interview Linda Kay Klein, author of Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free. This was a fascinating episode and one to not miss (in our humble opinions). Linda references her website: lindakayklein.com, her non profit organization: breakfreetogether.org and David Dickerson who authored: House of Cards: The True Story of How a 26-Year-Old Fundamentalist Virgin Learned about Life, Love, and Sex by Writing Greeting Cards.

This week's letter is from Ari, a never-mo transgender woman who met her fiancé during a performance of a very iconic cult classic. Can you guess which one based on the title of this episode? Pretty sure Shelly is still confused. Hint: there's no Venus flytrap character. So grab a cup of Apostate Coffee and give a listen, won't you?

In this episode we read a series of reports from our plant inside the Mission Training Center (we're sneakier than the Mormon Strengthening Church Members Committee). Also, we have an amazing FUMPOTD, and we hear from Sister Fanny Fact Check. Then special guest, Annie, recounts the best ways to manipulate potential converts (you crushed it, Annie). Please join us, won't you?

This week's letter writer cracks Mary up, as in, a big belly laugh. Shelly is left a bit baffled, proving what a difference an 8-year age gap can make. Confused? Give a listen to the episode and see what we mean.

Diana joins us for another fast and testimony episode, and this time she tells us all about the Enneagram Test. We can't seem to get the name right though...Banana Gram? Wait - Candy Gram? Uh...Teddy Grahams? And no, Shelly, you're not a "yellow" (no idea what test she's taking).

In this episode Diana references The Complete Enneagram by Beatrice Chestnut PhD, Neurobiologist Dr. Jerome Lubbe, and The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile.

This week we hear from Chris on nude paintings, that caused the spirit to leave (and frightened neighborhood children), and rocking a Jesus beard. Way to break those Mormon norms, hairy Chris.

Hey everybody, we're super excited about this week's interview with ex-Mormon activist and all around badass, Kate Kelly! We hear all about what she's been up to, and she wasn't afraid to tackle the tough questions we threw at her, like, "So Kate, is it true ya like the ladies?" We learned so much, and laughed of course...ya know, the usual. Also, want to express a heartfelt congratulations to the state of Virginia for finally getting their shit together! Join us, won't you?

Kate's references in this show: www.equalitynow.org/era, author Sonia Johnson: "From Housewife to Heretic", Kate's article: "The ERA is Queer", and of course her new podcast: Ordinary Equality (available wherever you listen to podcasts).
