Nobody knows what to do about queer Mormons. The institutional
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prefers to pretend they
don't exist, that they can choose their way out of who they are,
leave, or at least stay quiet in a community that has no place for
them. Even queer Mormons don't know what to do about queer Mormons.
Their lived experience is shrouded by a doctrine in which
heteronormative marriage is non-negotiable and gender is
unchangeable. For women, trans Mormons, and Mormons of other
marginalized genders, this invisibility is compounded by social
norms which elevate (implicitly white) cisgender male voices above
those of everyone else. This collection of essays gives voice to
queer Mormons. The authors who share their stories-many speaking
for the first time from the closet-do so here in simple narrative
prose. They talk about their identities, their experiences, their
relationships, their heartbreaks, their beliefs, and the challenges
they face. Some stay in the church, some do not, some are in
constant battles with themselves and the people around them as they
make agonizing decisions about love and faith and community. Their
stories bravely convey what it means to be queer, Mormon, and
marginalized-what it means to have no voice and yet to speak
anyway.
