My name is Emily Pearson and I am an Ex Mormon (2:19)
My positions on homosexuality & the Bible ⌂ (9:50) Dan McClellan
The teachings of a divine prejudice against homosexuality 1 illustrates again that the Church
is last, not first, to recognize and to correct past forms of injustice. “Being Gay and
Mormon” 2 illustrates through personal accounts, 3 the pain and suffering caused by Mormon
Church policies against 4 Gay people.
The term or concept of & "homosexuality"; does not exist in LDS scripture. It first entered LDS teachings
explicitly in the 1950s–60s, especially through Spencer W. Kimball's writings like, The Miracle of Forgiveness.
According to Biblical Scholar, Dan McClellan:
“If you are leveraging or deploying the Bible to condemn homosexuals or homosexuality or LGBT Q
Plus identities you need to fix your hearts because you're not engaging the Bible in a consistent or a thoughtful or an insightful or a very principled or constructive way. You're just leveraging the Bible to
serve the interests of your own identity politics and if your identity politics
incentivize you to minoritized, marginalize, and oppress already vulnerable groups
then you need to grow the hell up and do much better.”
