Episode 149Kelleen Potter, LDS, Mother of 5 including 2 LGBTQ, Mayor of Heber City
My friend Kelleen Potter shares her journey of her oldest son coming out as gay at age 14 (about 8 years ago) and her third child coming out as transgender who identifies as female (about 4 years ago). Kelleen also has a son on an LDS mission and two younger daughters. Kelleen discusses finding resources, therapists (including Lisa Hansen) and community with Mama Dragons. She also talks about why both of her LGBT children have stepped away from the Church and why she is at peace with that decision.
