Mormons who leave the church struggle with a lifetime of CPTSD symptoms. Please give them the grace and compassion that they need to heal.

This is what Conversion Therapy looks like. I ran from the church and took my queer teen child with me when the bishop recommended therapy that would uphold church standards and affirm correct behavior: Conversion Therapy.

Living Out and Proud as a lesbian is not actually my entire personality, but being a Mormon was, until I was nearly 50 years old.

I recently traveled to Washington, DC, to tell SCOTUS to protect children from conversion torture. The founder of the Conversion Therapy Survivor Network spells out the harm of overturning bans, in this interview.

Love wins. Especially love for ourselves. 🫶

I’m focusing on love. That’s how I’m coping with it all. Yesterday I was called mentally ill for being gay. The day before that I was called ā€œone of the good onesā€ because I don’t appear to be a groomer. Last week my author event at a library was compared to a drag queen story hour.



I’m breathing. I’m resting. I’m centering my thoughts, words, and deeds on loving energy.



Sending love to you, too. šŸ’™
