#ThinkRespectful, the talk I wish I'd heard last week at General Conference mainstreetplaza.com/2023/10/… @MainStreetPlaza
For those hurting from general conference, this is worth a listen
Prof Lefevor says it's hard for GLBTQ+ folks sticking around in the Church and stepping away. His advice? Curiosity & respect "assume you're talking to a rational human being making the best decisions for them"

My latest for @MainStreetPlaza, describing such a typical, deeply embedded trap for former Latter-day Saints mainstreetplaza.com/2023/02/…
"For now, Latter-day Saints remain on saner ground than many of their Protestant Christian counterparts...However, Latter-day Saints are among the top religious groups associated with Christian nationalism because of a huge number of “sympathizers”
Thanks to the @sltrib for publishing my editorial this morning:
"The spiritual and moral health of the Latter-day Saint community is at grave risk from Christian nationalist ideology."

Congratulations to David Archuleta, this year's X-Mo of the year for a very public, very painful, very human journey to authenticity
