What can you say when someone you love comes out as gay? Although we may have the best of intentions, some of the words and phrases we use may marginalize rather than be helpful to someone who is LGBTQ.
The article “What can you say when a family member comes out as gay? 7 ideas from a Latter-day Saint mom” from LDS Living provides helpful, practical advice, based on information from the Church’s Same-Sex Attraction website.
Hello,
First of all thank you for your wonderful testimony. I just wanted to say that I myself have struggled with same-sex attraction and I am wonderfully happy you found a loving and accepting community at your LDS church in Colorado. I was trying to find some guidance within the LDS church in my area of DE but it seems like I am too far from God’s grace at this point. May God bless you and your wonderful family!
