Sobre m\u00ed<\/b><\/h3>\n

Actualmente estoy realizando una gira en China como oficina consular no profesional en el Servicio Exterior de EE. UU. El trabajo es fascinante y disfruto interactuando con los lugare\u00f1os a t\u00edtulo oficial. Cuando termine este verano, espero estar m\u00e1s involucrado en la comunidad LGBT religiosa \/ mormona.<\/p>\n

\u00a1Disfruto leyendo, aprendiendo, escribiendo, caminando y con juegos de mesa! Tengo un profundo deseo de invertir en mi comunidad local, donde sea que est\u00e9, y ser una fuerza para el bien.<\/p>\n

Mi historia<\/b><\/h3>\n

Crec\u00ed en un hogar arquet\u00edpicamente morm\u00f3n en Arizona. Como el mayor de seis hermanos, particip\u00e9 activamente en reuniones de la iglesia, programas para j\u00f3venes y seminario. Mi profunda vida espiritual personal de estudio y oraci\u00f3n me llev\u00f3 a obtener un fuerte testimonio del Evangelio tal como lo entend\u00eda, a pesar de, o mejor dicho, debido a, mi descubrimiento y proceso de intentar dar sentido a mi experiencia homosexual.<\/p>\n

Siempre sent\u00ed el cuidado y la preocupaci\u00f3n del Se\u00f1or por m\u00ed y sent\u00ed que su plan para m\u00ed mientras crec\u00eda era simplemente seguir haciendo lo que sab\u00eda que era correcto. Sent\u00ed su aliento y aprobaci\u00f3n mientras serv\u00eda en una misi\u00f3n en Calgary, Canad\u00e1, y luego continu\u00e9 mis estudios en la escuela de la Iglesia: la Universidad Brigham Young, en Provo, Utah.<\/p>\n

Cuando termin\u00e9 en BYU, comenc\u00e9 a sentir una sensaci\u00f3n de insatisfacci\u00f3n general y que a mi vida le faltaba algo. Lo atribu\u00ed al agotamiento escolar y esperaba tener un trabajo "productivo" que me sacar\u00eda de esta rutina. Sin embargo, cuando una pasant\u00eda de posgrado de seis meses en Hong Kong me coloc\u00f3 en una situaci\u00f3n que se correspond\u00eda muy bien con lo que pod\u00eda esperar de mi vida profesional de posgrado, me di cuenta de que algo ten\u00eda que cambiar, que no pod\u00eda ser feliz. continuando en el camino era del celibato asumido (es decir, sin considerar otras opciones pero sin abordar realmente al prospecto de frente tampoco) y, sobre todo, fingiendo ser heterosexual.<\/p>\n

Los tres a\u00f1os transcurridos desde entonces han sido un viaje confuso y vacilante mientras trataba de comprenderme a m\u00ed mismo, mi vida y mi papel en el plan de Dios. Me ha sorprendido darme cuenta de cu\u00e1nto dolor yo y otros en el nexo de LGBT y morm\u00f3n hemos sido sometidos y, peor a\u00fan, cu\u00e1nto de eso ha sido completamente innecesario. Esta comprensi\u00f3n me impulsa a hacer todo lo posible para mejorar la situaci\u00f3n para los mormones LGBT actuales y futuros.<\/p>\n

Mi continua actividad en la Iglesia me desconcierta. Por un lado, nunca sent\u00ed que quisiera dejar la Iglesia o estar en desacuerdo con la mayor parte de sus ense\u00f1anzas. Pero, por otro lado, con frecuencia siento que me est\u00e1n empujando contra mi voluntad, solo por ser quien soy y la falta de cualquier cosa que la Iglesia parezca poder ofrecerme, como persona gay, sin importar si soy o no. Sigo su prescripci\u00f3n de celibato. Sigo viviendo principalmente las normas de la Iglesia, participo tanto como me sienta c\u00f3modo y trato de hacer una contribuci\u00f3n al establecimiento de \u201cSion\u201d, una idea que me atrae y por la cual estoy dispuesto a esforzarme, incluso si el "Reino Celestial" est\u00e1, por ahora, expl\u00edcitamente prohibido para m\u00ed.<\/p>\n

Supe de Afirmaci\u00f3n por un tiempo, a trav\u00e9s de Internet, pero durante mucho tiempo tuve una opini\u00f3n bastante negativa al respecto. Cuando estaba en Washington, DC, en 2012 para mi capacitaci\u00f3n laboral, conoc\u00ed al actual presidente Randall Thacker y todo cambi\u00f3.<\/p>\n

Ahora estoy en el equipo de liderazgo nacional y trato de contribuir como puedo a pesar de mi lejan\u00eda y la diferencia horaria.<\/p>\n
