1721: Gay Mormon Rescue w/ Charlie Bird and Ben Schilaty?
Manage episode 353702692 series 8255
Please join us for a panel discussion regarding a recent two-day LDS multi-Stake training in Canada focused on understanding LGBTQ members, led by faithful gay Mormon podcasters Charlie Bird and Ben Schilaty (hosts of "Questions From the Closet" podcast).
Some questions that will be addressed by the panel include:
- What aspects of this training are groundbreaking and should be celebrated?
- How do efforts like this one help LGBTQ youth in the LDS pews?
- Is this a local/grass-roots effort or is it sanctioned by top LDS Church leadership?
- Does this training represent a "Gay Mormon Rescue" of sorts, reminiscent of the Swedish Rescue and Boise Rescue from previous years (see here and here)?
- What possible risks do trainings like this introduce for LGTBQ youth and young adults?
- To what extent do less-official, "grass roots" efforts like this prevent top Mormon church leaders from taking responsibility for the LGBTQ crisis (past and present) within Mormonism?
Panel Members:
- Kyle Ashworth
- Julia Sanders
- Gerardo Sumano
- Maven
