Latter-Day Lesbian

Did you ever play that Hasbro board game with the cute little cars and the little pegs? Or wait...did you play the Mormon version?? That fun game where young adults are put to the test as they try to guess what the "right" decision is, and then get to experience copious amounts of guilt and shame and also fake punishments if they guess incorrectly? Well, we are ripping the shirt out of THAT game today. Even "Leave It In" Dan has something to say about it. We also have a FUMPOTD and an entry from Shelly's journal. Should be a good time.

Please help us welcome Jen, from The ExMo Candle Co., to today's show. Jen bravely and generously shared with us her story of shame and abuse inflicted by the LDS church. She now funnels those experiences, and the resulting trauma, into making candles - a business she shares with her husband Adri. If you're interested in purchasing the "Gay Away the Pray" candle (or any of their amazing varieties), please cut and paste www.exmocandles.com into a browser window and click on the Creator Candles tab at the top of the site. A portion of the proceeds from each "Gay Away the Pray" candle helps support this podcast! Thank you in advance!

Today, our friend Kirsten joins us for a deep dive into that horrifying LDS document from 1995 that instructed all of us on how to do families properly. And yes, of course there's only one correct way. Duh. Are you new? Anyway, this should be a fun li'l shirt show. Buckle up!
