Today we read a letter from Dinah who's led quite the life! After battling an attraction for women and serving a mission, she finally gave a big middle finger to the church and started her life back over in San Francisco during the 1960s, eventually becoming an activist. It's a good one, so we hope you join us.

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!

Today we hear from Marie about her strict, King James Version Baptist upbringing. Who knew that was a thing? Also, Trishelle talks about her entire extended Mormon family being present for the birth of at least one of her children. Yikes!

In today's episode we talk about some Mormon reactions to COVID-19. Hey, guess what? Russell M. Nelson is NOT an actual prophet, people. He's just a dude with way too much authority (in our opinion). We also have a terrific FUMPOTD, and Sister Fanny Fact Check helps us out with that one. So put in your earbuds and practice social distancing with your favorite ex-Mo-lesbo podcast, won't you?

As the episode title implies, we interviewed Samantha and Tanner from Zelph on the Shelf! Aw hell yeah! What a fun time as we got to know these two and heard their amazing insights into spirituality and their journeys out of Mormonism and into the inspiring humans they are today.
