LDS advocates and allies of LGBTQ members and former members are meeting for a two-day conference, Gather, to provide a safe and inclusive place to talk about their faith and their sexuality.
The conference is “for everyone who loves God and wants to gather,” organizers say. “Come as you are.”
“If you are lucky enough to be in a ward [congregation] like mine in Arizona, you will be loved for who you are,” Christofferson says in an interview. “But if you’re not, this could be your community and home, where we support each other.”
