Trust Me: Cults, Extreme Belief, and Manipulation

Thomas & Micah, Part 1 - God, Goofy, and Growing Up Gay in Religion


Listen Later

One is a former Mormon. The other was a child of evangelical missionaries teaching a doctrine called Accelerated Christian Education. Both of them were closeted gay men growing up in strict religious households. Today, Thomas and Micah share about their upbringings, how they met working at Disneyland (a type of cult unto itself), the personalized Book of Mormon that Thomas bought for Micah, and growing up in cultures that stigmatize homosexuality.
