Episode 73Matthew Wilkinson: Gay Latter-Day Saint, Aged 26, RM, BYU Graduate
My friend Matthew Wilkinson shares his journey as a gay Latter-day Saint coming to terms with his sexual orientation in his teenage years, serving a mission, his kind and loving Mission Presidents (Robert and Pat Preston), coming out to his wonderful parents and family members, graduating from BYU in Geospatial Intelligence, and his desire to be a University Professor. While Matthew has deep admiration for the Church and isn’t trying to pull people out of the Church, he also shares why he is stepping away.
