Carol Lynn Pearson has a long and impressive history as a writer, speaker, and performer. She is particularly known for her advocacy of LGBTQ people in the church.
Her memoir Goodbye, I Love You tells the story of her temple marriage to a gay man, their ultimate divorce, and her husband Gerald’s death from AIDS. Another important work is Facing East, a stage play telling the story of an upstanding LDS couple dealing with the suicide of their gay son.
A major passion of Carol Lynn has been addressing the need to bring God the Mother back into the family, as dramatized in her one-woman play, Mother Wove the Morning. Carol Lynn’s most recent book is Finding Mother God: Poems to Heal the World.
Believing that LGBTQ people can benefit significantly from reassessing the gender of God, she has titled her talk: “God the Mother: Advocate for her LGBTQ children.” Also recent is a children’s picture book, I’ll Walk With You, which invites us all to walk with everyone, even “if you don’t love as some people do.”
