Episode 147Kurt Nielsen, Age 59, RM, Active LDS, Gay, Married, 3 Children
My friend Kurt Nielsen calls in from Yorba Linda, California to bravely share his story as a gay Latter-day Saint. Kurt has come out to his dear wife Mary, three children and some trusted friends. Kurt has been following deep impressions his whole life and now feels called to share his story more broadly. Kurt shares his journey as a gay man growing up in Northern Utah, serving a mission, getting married and having a family. Unlike our younger LGBTQ members who have some support networks, Kurt has had very little (until the last few years), causing him to develop a deep relationship with Heavenly Father and the subsequent personal revelation he received.
