Musings of a Queer Saint
“An amalgamation of my random thoughts and insights relating to anything concerning same-sex attraction and Latter-day Saint doctrine and culture. Yes, my grammar and punctuation might be little off, but I’m making my voice heard and writing anyway. Enjoy.”
— Tember Harward
Please note: Specific beliefs, behaviours, and individual’s choices are often critiqued in this blog out of concern for the adverse ramifications of those beliefs, behaviours, and choices. Expressing disagreement with and concern for one’s beliefs or actions is not the same as attacking that individual or group, and originates from the authors’ love for the individuals or groups in question, and their concern for their welfare. Please, do not misconstrue the expressions of disagreement or criticism in these posts as the authors attacking or shaming individuals or groups. We deeply love all men and women and desire the best for their spiritual welfare; we know that the best spiritual welfare is achieved through surrendering our wills to Jesus Christ and living his gospel.
