Growing up Mormon and Queer

While religous belief and expression is a comfort to some, for others it can create confusion, misery and chaos.  Such is the experience of many queer people who were raised Mormon.  For this membership drive special of Out Loud, hear the stories of queer identified folks who come from a culture dominated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  We'll hear the story of Joseph Dallin, who wrote a book (avalible to new and renewing members) about his experiences.  How did Joseph and others cope with being members of a church that has spent millions of dollars fighting LGBT equality?  How has their Mormon background influenced their current beliefs regarding religion and spirituality?
