My Son Is Gay
By On Defense
Church was too much for me. I was always on the defense in sacrament meeting and with every class taught. I was also on constant defense with the bishopric. My son came out in 1994 at the age of 16. I could hardly handle the stress of someone saying something about homosexuality.
How can we be more sensitive of people whose family members are LGBTQ or who are themselves? In what ways can church members help those in these situations feel safe at church?
