I set aside the light and cheery tone of previous episodes to discuss the real issues being faced by the LGBTQ+ community at the hands of organized religion and the Republican Party. I share my experience of alienation and gaslighting from growing up in a Mormon and Republican family. \n\nLinks to articles and movies that I mention in the episode:\n\n\u201cThe Mormon Church Is Gaslighting the LGBTQ+ Community\u201d by Kat Kellermeyer: https://www.out.com/commentary/2019/9/19/mormon-church-gaslighting-lgbtq-community\n\n\u201c11 Warning Signs of Gaslighting\u201d by Stephanie A.
