On this very special episode of Mormonish Podcast, Landon and Rebecca are joined by four wonderful married LGBTQ couples who still attend and love the LDS church. This episode shines a spotlight on how different this attendance looks for each person as we talk with Austin and Dallin, Tyler, Bethany and Jackie, and Steven.   Becoming aware over the last few months of othe LGBTQ married couples who seem to enjoy full participation and fellowship in their LDS wards, we wanted to learn more. We were so honored to find four married LDS LGBTQ couples who wanted to share their stories.  When you hear these stories together, it's clear that local leadership struggles with no clear direction from the top or any formal policy. What you are left with is a roulette situation and the lives of LGBTQ are negatively impacted.  As we watch these four stories, we are struck by the desire of these couples to remain in the church and in their LDS community. Each story is different, with varying levels of participation allowed, which makes it all the more poinant.   Get ready to be really impacted by our wonderful guests tonight!  ***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast:  If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here:   https://www.mormonishpodcast.org/support   Also at: PayPal: https://paypal.me/BiblioTechMedia?cou...
