It even gave me the courage to come out to my parents, and I was able to give them a couple resources I got there to look at too. They did not react well at all, and it really hurt. However I have hope that with patience and the support of my friends and the knowledge that I&#8217;m not going through this alone, I will make it through this and my parents will eventually come around!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can\u2019t live your life for other people. You\u2019ve got to do what\u2019s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love. \u00a0I feel like for the first time I understand and accept this concept. The Affirmation conference this past weekend was truly a turning point for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Karen Heath Penman: \u201cThings I LOVED about the Affirmation Conference this weekend:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The Youth made great friends, even those who were very anxious to be &#8220;the new kid.&#8221; They were running around in a pack, which is as it should be&#8230;and they probably haven&#8217;t had those experiences in their wards.<\/li>\n<li>TYLER GLENN&#8217;s rendition of &#8220;Where Can I Turn For Peace.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Tyler Glenn&#8217;s MOM. She&#8217;s just like me and my LDS friends who are moms of LGBTQ kids. We love our kids. END OF STORY.<\/li>\n<li>1\/2) Kendall Wilcox is the Mormon Phil Donahue.<\/li>\n<li>Seeing Old Friends. Hugs. Meeting New Friends. More Hugs.<\/li>\n<li>The wide array of LGBTQ\/SSA Mormons who were at the conference and ALL felt welcome. Yes. There were SSA Mormons there who had never been to Affirmation and they LOVED it. They felt very welcome and loved.<\/li>\n<li>Sara Jade Woodhouse is a Goddess. I really have a girl crush on her. Her testimony gives me hope.<\/li>\n<li>Hearing the stories of healing and hope from LGBTQ\/SSA Mormons, former Mormons, and ex-Mormons. Your experiences strengthen me.<\/li>\n<li>So many, many, many other things. So many times I felt the presence of the Holy Ghost. &#8220;Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them.&#8221; I noticed the Fruits of the Spirit throughout the WHOLE conference. Peace. Long Suffering. Gentleness. Goodness. Faith. Meekness. Temperance. Against such THERE IS NO LAW. I love you all.

You created a space and time where many people were touched, healed and inspired. Thank you all for your time, hard work and compassion. As for me, I only attended the first day of the conference. Being an introvert makes it really draining for me to be around a lot of people, even if they&#8217;re awesome. I actually needed a break from the crowds smile emoticon It was a good feeling, though, to be with &#8216;my people&#8217;, however brief. I&#8217;d like to thank my friends for hanging with me, and sharing some great moments at the conference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The one profound thing that I got from the conference that stands out for me was when Tyler Glenn talked about his faith and his sexuality. He said something to the effect that he doesn&#8217;t have all of the answers, and that that is ok, and that he believes it will work out with faith, love and time. He said that he tried to have an answer for everything at one time, but that he learned to let go. I love that. I don&#8217;t have all of the answers, and that&#8217;s ok. It feels good to not have that pressure. I think we as LDS people, or former LDS people, feel the need to have all of the answers. It&#8217;s ok to not have the answers. It&#8217;s ok to trust in God, in love, in time. Thanks, Tyler, for sharing!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConference was a very uplifting experience for me this year. In addition to learning a lot in the workshops and affinity sessions, I was blown away by the diversity of thought and experiences expressed by the keynote speakers. It is always nice to have a safe place where I can reconnect with old friends and make new friends, all while exploring the opportunities for growth presented by the annual Conference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found the conference to be spiritual and uplifting. As usual the Sunday morning program\u00a0was great. Todd Richardson gave a great talk, and the testimony meeting was a highlight as usual. The program at Sunday lunch was just right, especially the quartet singing songs from Les Mes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/affirmation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/11999545_920716138017316_5224685451496939479_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15465 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/affirmation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/11999545_920716138017316_5224685451496939479_o-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"11999545_920716138017316_5224685451496939479_o\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affirmation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/11999545_920716138017316_5224685451496939479_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/affirmation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/11999545_920716138017316_5224685451496939479_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/affirmation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/11999545_920716138017316_5224685451496939479_o-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/affirmation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/11999545_920716138017316_5224685451496939479_o-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/affirmation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/11999545_920716138017316_5224685451496939479_o.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis weekend has definitely been a highlight of the year.\u201d \u201c[It was] such a great weekend meeting new friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt the spirit of love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust wanted to take this moment and thank all of you who were instrumental in putting together Affirmation&#8217;s Annual Conference. It was great to meet with old friends and new! I was thoroughly humbled by the opportunity to share a stage with the likes of Kate Kendall, Samuel Wolfe, Laura Skaggs Dulin, and Michael McLean. It was an honor! My only regrets are that due to my new job I had to miss much of what happened on Thursday and Friday (so sorry Randall) and that, due to an unforeseen episode of some kind of stomach bug, I was forced to leave early and I missed so much. I&#8217;m sorry Michael that I wasn&#8217;t there to hear the song dedication! If anyone has a recording of that I would love to hear it. I&#8217;m sorry that I wasn&#8217;t able to hang out with so many of you after the event. Thank you all so much for your kindness and your love.

All throughout the conference!<\/li>\n<li>Prayers in Spanish and in English.<\/li>\n<li>In my small group discussion in the\u00a0Prepare\u00a0affinity group, hearing fellow gay Mormons talk about their love for God and their testimonies of the Gospel and of God&#8217;s love for them. One told heart-breaking stories of dealing with this in the Church in the 1950s. One of the younger men talked about how, though it felt right to him to be at Church, it also felt incredibly vulnerable. I asked the others if any of them had gotten to the point of not feeling vulnerable anymore to raise their hand, and not a hand went up.

Hugging her and weeping together afterwards.<\/li>\n<li>Holding hands with\u00a0Ellen Koester\u00a0with tears running down my face, while Vaughn Curtis Larsen,\u00a0Ron Raynes,\u00a0Nathan Kitchen\u00a0and others sang a beautiful medley of songs from Les Miserables.<\/li>\n<li>After presenting\u00a0Adry\u00e1n S\u00e1n Rom\u00e1n\u00a0with this year&#8217;s Mortensen Award, hearing him tell how he knew he had a responsibility to reach out to others &#8212; one soul at a time &#8212; because he knew the depth of God&#8217;s love for him.<\/li>\n<li>Making time.
