Mormon Parents of a Gay Child: When Dogma and Ignorance Collide | Episode 150

Sep 22, 2021| There isn’t a manual or Sunday school lesson that teaches us how to prepare for our LGBTQ+ child’s coming out experience. For parents (especially Mormon ones), you often feel wholly unprepared for the news.

For many parents, we aren’t trying to understand this topic because we believe it isn’t relevant to us—because something like this doesn’t happen to families like ours. Right?

In this powerfully candid and honest episode, Glen and Sandee Traasdahl share their mistakes, their successes, and the beautiful experiences they’ve learned as they navigate their son’s coming out experience.

** This episode is a must watch for all parents.**



Kyle Ashworth, the interviewer and host of these episodes, does such a great job of interviewing his guests. This series is one of the very best I have found on YouTube on LGBTQ+ issues. That is why I upload so many of them even though I am not a member of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. Kyle Ashworth interviews his guests so sensitively too. I hope you enjoy these discussions as much as I do. – Mark
