Episode 51Austin Hodges: Active Gay Latter-day Saint, Aged 22, Holds Temple Recommend
My friend Austin Hodges share his story of knowing he was gay around age 12, coming out to friends, family and church leaders, being suicidal, serving a mission, being diagnosed with MS and coming home after a year. He also talks about dating men (including going through church discipline with loving bishops), holding a temple recommend and feeling emotionally healthier with his new boyfriend. I also encourage you to check out his blog to learn more about his story.
