Em 30 de dezembro de 2022, recebi e-mails, mensagens do Facebook e, finalmente, um telefonema de Dean Snelling para me informar que ele havia acabado de publicar sua autobiografia,\u00a0Dean Snelling: Di\u00e1rio de um santo dos \u00faltimos dias (gay)<\/em>, apenas alguns dias antes. Ele estava ansioso para que a Afirma\u00e7\u00e3o compartilhasse sua hist\u00f3ria.<\/p>\n

Dean compartilhou que sua hist\u00f3ria era diferente do que voc\u00ea encontraria nas prateleiras da Deseret Book. Sua hist\u00f3ria era de um membro excomungado da Igreja, casado com uma pessoa do mesmo sexo e ainda acreditava. Esta n\u00e3o \u00e9 uma hist\u00f3ria que se encaixa na narrativa do que \u00e9 aceit\u00e1vel para membros gays, l\u00e9sbicas ou bissexuais da Igreja. Ele \u00e9 r\u00e1pido em dizer que as hist\u00f3rias dentro dessa narrativa s\u00e3o importantes e valiosas. Mas sua hist\u00f3ria \u00e9 diferente.<\/p>\n

Em 559 p\u00e1ginas, Snelling leva voc\u00ea em sua jornada de mais de seis d\u00e9cadas de autodescoberta, f\u00e9, sacrif\u00edcio, perda e afirma\u00e7\u00e3o, misturando sua mem\u00f3ria com trechos de cartas, discursos da igreja e outros materiais. Voc\u00ea viajar\u00e1 com ele desde seu in\u00edcio em Ohio at\u00e9 sua juventude no Novo M\u00e9xico, sua introdu\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0 Igreja em uma visita a Salt Lake City, seus estudos universit\u00e1rios em Idaho e Utah, sua miss\u00e3o no Canad\u00e1 e sua carreira de professor que aparentemente foi uma saga intermin\u00e1vel de coloca\u00e7\u00f5es nos Estados Unidos, Canad\u00e1 e Su\u00ed\u00e7a.<\/p>\n

Snelling conta que mergulhou na investiga\u00e7\u00e3o da Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos \u00daltimos Dias e foi batizado como membro da Igreja aos dezesseis anos, depois que os mission\u00e1rios obtiveram a aprova\u00e7\u00e3o de seus pais. Sua experi\u00eancia de convers\u00e3o e testemunho claramente o centram em sua f\u00e9 ao longo de sua vida, assim como o conselho que ele recebe da Igreja como um homem gay lutando para ser um bom marido para suas esposas, pai para seus filhos, filho para seus pais e igreja. membro fica aqu\u00e9m, abrindo caminhos sombrios e perigosos para a explora\u00e7\u00e3o de sua sexualidade. Dean vive uma vida dupla, onde, aparentemente, ele \u00e9 um professor amado, pai de fam\u00edlia e digno portador do sacerd\u00f3cio servindo em v\u00e1rios chamados. No entanto, abaixo dessa superf\u00edcie est\u00e1 um homem lutando desesperadamente para manter tudo unido, buscando satisfa\u00e7\u00e3o em lugares escuros e sem entender por que essa luta n\u00e3o estava sendo tirada dele.<\/p>\n

Esta \u00e9 uma hist\u00f3ria \u00edntima, pois Snelling permite que voc\u00ea participe das conversas e cartas entre ele, sua fam\u00edlia e amigos. Desnudadas nas p\u00e1ginas est\u00e3o as discuss\u00f5es e a dor em seus casamentos. Sua primeira esposa foi tomada pelo c\u00e2ncer. Seu segundo casamento terminou em div\u00f3rcio. Seu amor, esperan\u00e7as e sonhos para seus filhos tamb\u00e9m s\u00e3o uma parte significativa de sua hist\u00f3ria, at\u00e9 mesmo celebrando sua f\u00e9 e atividade cont\u00ednuas como santos dos \u00faltimos dias quando ele finalmente foi excomungado.<\/p>\n

A hist\u00f3ria de Dean \u00e9 \u00fanica, mas suas experi\u00eancias refletem as dos homens da Igreja anteriores a 1984, que foram aconselhados a enterrar sua sexualidade, servir fielmente na Igreja e casar-se com mulheres inocentes para superar sua homossexualidade. Por fim, encontrando seu caminho para a Afirma\u00e7\u00e3o, Snelling conheceu muitos outros homens que eram santos dos \u00faltimos dias, gays, pais, l\u00edderes da igreja, professores da BYU e assim por diante. A maioria divorciada. Todos os que ele conheceu n\u00e3o eram mais membros. Ele escreve: \u201cTanto talento desperdi\u00e7ado. Tantos lares desfeitos por causa da pol\u00edtica anterior da Igreja que encorajava os rapazes a se casarem, dizendo-lhes que eles seriam capazes de mudar.\u201d<\/p>\n

No final das contas, Snelling felizmente se v\u00ea capaz de realizar sua esperan\u00e7a de encontrar um homem para se casar e ter um relacionamento monog\u00e2mico, sentindo-se \u201cmais puro\u201d do que nunca. Dean e seu marido David estavam entre os primeiros casais do mesmo sexo a se casar na Am\u00e9rica do Norte depois que se tornou legal em British Columbia, Canad\u00e1.<\/p>\n
