Synopsis
The story of queer Mormons is one that some might not expect to be joyful. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has traditionally asserted that queerness is counter to God's plan and that gender as determined at birth is eternal. Any marriage other than a monogamous pairing of male and female is "counterfeit." So called "wickedness," we are told, "never was happiness."
But queer Mormons tell different stories--stories filled with joy. This collection includes essays by queer Mormons across the LGBTQ spectrum who, when they looked inside themselves, found divinity rather than sin. Stories by people who are made exactly as they are meant to be, and live accordingly.
Queer Mormons who feel forced out of the institutional church don't typically find despair on the outside or abandonment by the divine. Instead, their lives are rich and beautiful--made all the more so by the struggle. The Book of Mormon tells us, "Men are that they might have joy." The Book of Queer Mormon Joy affirms that trans, nonbinary, intersex, asexual, bisexual, polyamorous, and gay people have joy. Joy is for everyone.
