Episode 87Sunny Smart: Gay, Married to a Man, Mother of 4 (and Sunny's Son Adam Smart)
My friend Sunny, in her 40s, shares her journey of coming out to her family as a gay/queer Latter-day Saint. As part of this process, Sunny has been working closely with her Stake Leadership in Idaho to develop a better and more inclusive culture for LDS LGBTQ members. Sunny also shares coming out to her children. Adam, aged 18 and preparing for a mission, shares his thoughts on having a gay/queer mother and how their relationship is now stronger than ever. It’s a beautiful story of vulnerability, honesty, and coming closer together.
