Latter-Day Lesbian

In today's episode, Shelly reads once again from her oh-so-riveting, circa 1990s journal, which sparks an impromptu FUMPOTD. Such a fun surprise that Mary can't begin to sort out, per usual. We also read a letter from a very special friend of the podcast.

In today's episode we're reading from two LDS-authored books: "Mormons & Homosexuality" and "Encouraging Heterosexuality." We're super stoked to debunk both of them. We also want to give a shout-out to our sponsor, Modest Mix Teas, who lovingly provided the delicious and subversive tea blends that delight our senses and encourage our unapologetic love of swearwords. Hooray for beverages that go against the word of wisdom or whatever.

Hey friends, Mary and Kirsten take the reins on this Latter-Day Lesbian and Queer Life Crisis Simulcast. We share some initial reactions to Under the Banner of Heaven, and manage to keep the spoilers to a minimum. Also, we're taking a bit of a break from podcasting, so we hope all of you have an amazing summer and we'll talk to you again in the fall.

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.

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!
