Devolviendo las migajas que la Iglesia robó hace unos años a la comunidad queer

Nosotros, los miembros LGBTQ+ de la comunidad mormona, somos intrínsecamente valiosos, dignos de elogio y celebrados a la vista de Dios.

If you attend the Affirmation International Conference next month, find a stranger and get to know them. It may be the only time each year they can be who they really are in front of others…and you’ll leave with a greater love for your fellow man, whoever or wherever they may be.

Si no triunfas a la primera… – Dos grados fuera del centro

Si se confiesan públicamente incluso antes de que el mal se haga público, incluso mejor. We even teach our kids from the womb how to repent.

Confusión, calma, y otra vez confusión…

No sé si esto es un cambio real. Simplemente no puedo imaginar a Dios diciendo «no bauticen a sus niños» y tres años después «bueno, está bien, sí háganlo». No me parece lógico.

Ressuscita-me

April 29, 2019 |

Se estiver sozinho ou se sentindo abandonado, acreditando que já não há espaço para você em algum lugar, peça ao Senhor que ressucite em seu coração a esperança de dias melhores, que ele te tire da tumba chamando por seu nome e realize um milagre em tua vida.

BYU Valedictorian: ‘I am Proud to be a Gay Son of God’

It was in these quiet moments of pain and confusion that I felt another triumph: That of coming to terms, not with who I thought I should be, but who the Lord has made me to be.

Submitted to Affirmation following The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint’s reversal of their November 2015 policy changes that prohibited children of LGBTQ parents from being blessed and baptized and characterized members of the church entering into same-sex marriages as apostates. These changes became known within the LGBTQ Mormon community as the “exclusion policy,” “policy of exclusion,” or “PoX.” The day after the reversal of this policy was announced, Nathan Kitchen, President of Affirmation, invited anyone willing to and share their authentic feelings and all their stories of grief, anger, relief, sadness, happiness, confusion, whatever they may be that surround the rescinding this policy. “As President of Affirmation, I want to be sure Affirmation does not hide you or your stories as we move forward,” wrote Kitchen in his invitation. If you have reactions or a story to share about the reversal of the exclusion policy, please send to submissions@affirmation.org. You can also read other stories and reactions to the reversal of the exclusion policy.

Revelação Como Indivíduos ou Como Igreja Nunca nos Despoja de Nossa Ações

O Senhor pode manter planos de backup prontos para que seus projetos não sejam subvertidos pela estupidez ou intransigência humana, mas ele também tende a nos deixar aprender da maneira mais difícil – até mesmo quando ele está conosco durante o processo.

Perguntas não Respondidas e Fé Abalada

É difícil conciliar uma religião cujo líder nos diz que a política é uma revelação de Deus e que, pouco tempo depois, inverte a política sem pedir desculpas ou reconhecer a dor que causou.
