Praying For This Moment For Years

Last updated on: February 25, 2020 at 2:57 pm By Natasha Helfer

“You need to be more Christlike.” BYU professor says he’s been praying for this moment for years!!! BYU students clapped that all students will be able to date in the same way!!! Professor warns that homophobic and transphobic comments will now be reportable to the honor code office!!!!! The fact that these comments are being made in a BYU class is wonderfully shocking to me. I feel like I did when I saw the Berlin Wall coming down. Didn’t know... Read more

Affirmation’s Response to New Church Handbook

Last updated on: February 21, 2020 at 11:05 am By Natasha Helfer

Affirmation is a pivotal entity in our LDS/Mormon community and has come out with their response to the handbook changes we’ve all been looking at this week. Please read this article and the President of Affirmation, Nathan Kitchen‘s response. New Church handbook provides some clarity but minimizes LGBTQ identities Affirmation is unique in that we have transgender leaders who provide a critical piece of the institutional voice. As a leader at the highest levels of Affirmation, Laurie Lee Hall provides the... Read more

It’s All A Reflection Of You

Last updated on: February 28, 2020 at 10:30 am By Natasha Helfer

Regardless of how you feel about the super bowl halftime show, I feel it is important to think about things from different perspectives. The reality is that modesty rhetoric in our Mormon culture poses problems of inappropriate shame and responsibility for arousal. This responsibility is placed unfairly on women. And if you’re upset about “objectification”… modesty rhetoric in of itself is a form of objectification. Not to mention the many other ways we objectify people in other industries that never...

Thru Cloud and Sunshine

Last updated on: February 21, 2020 at 11:09 am By Natasha Helfer

I went to Mormon church for the first time since my move to Utah… and had an uplifting experience that helped me acknowledge that in many pockets we are making strides against perfectionistic culture and towards prioritizing principles that support good mental health practice. When Rumi is quoted in an LDS sacrament meeting… you know it’s going to be a good day. This man shared some beautiful poetry acknowledging the importance of sorrow and what a poignant part of life...

FOR YEARS UTAH’S LGBTQ CHILDREN WERE SUBJECTED TO CONVERSION THERAPY. THAT’S ABOUT TO END

Last updated on: January 23, 2020 at 1:54 pm By Natasha Helfer

As far as the church’s pushback and their “concern” for religious freedom… when are we going to stop seeing it as a “right” or a “freedom” to impose mental and medical harm due to religious beliefs? They made sure this legislation excluded clergy and parents/grandparents. At the same time… these state bans are addressing mental health professionals… not clergy or parents to begin with. That’s a much more complex problem in our country – what we allow under “religious freedoms”... Read more
