El espíritu nos acompañó en todas las actividades y pudimos compartir experiencias que nos edificaron a todos los participantes y que nos unieron desde el inicio de la conferencia.
Fue muy enriquecedor compartir, escuchar, debatir y todo desde el respeto y la aceptación de todos los que participaron en la conferencia.
Podemos estudiar y llevar vida llena de progresos para nosotros mismos y podemos ayudar a otros a que este mensaje de esperanza llegue a quien lo necesiten, tanto para lideres como padre e hijos e hijas.
Reafirmamos la divinidad y la dignidad de los hijos e hijas de Dios y de todas las familias y el potencial que cada uno de ellos tiene de amar plenamente y de apoyarse mutuamente a través de este mundo y el siguiente.
We can study and bring to pass for ourselves a life full of progress, and we can help bring this message of hope to others who need it, including leaders, parents and children

God made us a promise. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” God hears and answers prayers and He is intimately aware of the trials and tribulations that we face. And he will never abandon those who seek Him out and ask in faith…believing that He will answer.
Social media response to an article published on Affirmation.org on January 20, 2016 has resulted, in recent weeks, in heightened mainstream media interest in the potential impact, in terms of mental health and well-being of LGBT Mormons, of the LDS Church’s new policy on gay families.
Rather than attempting to discredit anecdotal reports of recent suicides, the Deseret News, the Salt Lake Tribune and KUER each ran stories that acknowledged the seriousness and the complexity of the issue. The Deseret News led the story by publishing, on Thursday, January 28, 2016, two articles addressing the issue of suicide among LGBT Mormons. Other online and visual media outlets followed. Find the links to these articles and videos in the full article.
Today, things still aren’t perfect, but I feel empowered by my sexuality and grateful to be a queer Mormon. Kristen and I married in June of 2015, and we’re currently living in Los Angeles where we are both pursuing PhDs in English. We’re planning on starting a family in the next few years, but for now, we are just so thrilled to be together.
I put on a happy face during my teenage years. Not even my family knew how much I was hurting. So please understand that your/our children are listening. Negative comments about LGBTQ people or negative comments about gay marriage will hurt. The wounds can run deep and are long lasting.
