LGBTQ Mormons may not be a good fit for the LDS world, but there's plenty of room for them elsewhere. A budding feminist tries to make a political statement by giving birth to her "illegitimate" son in church just before Mother's Day. A gay man works with unhoused people in Seattle while taking care of a terminally ill partner at home. A lesbian couple fight internalized homophobia that has them questioning if their desperate financial situation is a punishment from God. A man trains himself to stop praying. A gay man falls in love in Morocco. Another man learns his boyfriend was at a nightclub when a mass shooter attacked.Few of us are a perfect fit for the culture we're born into, yet even as religious intolerance makes a desperate comeback attempt, there are good, like-minded folks everywhere. And love always wins in the end.

Autorenporträt
A climate crisis immigrant who relocated from New Orleans to Seattle in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Johnny Townsend wrote the first account of the UpStairs Lounge fire, an attack on a French Quarter gay bar which killed 32 people in 1973. He was an associate producer for the documentary Upstairs Inferno, for the sci-fi film Time Helmet, and for the deaf gay short Flirting, with Possibilities. His books include Please Evacuate, Racism by Proxy, and Wake Up and Smell the Missionaries. His novel, Orgy at the STD Clinic, set entirely on public transit, details political extremism, climate upheaval, and anti-maskers in the midst of a pandemic.
