Episode 99: ‘Celestial’ (Scott Sessions)

Can you be Gay and Loved by God? Queer Mormon and (first time) storyteller Scott Sessions has always been told that the answer is No. That desire to enter the celestial kingdom was at odds with the twitch in his groin when watching sweaty men playing basketball, and it lead to self-hatred & losing his faith.  Then one day, he finds a way to regain his sense of awe and wonder while remaining true to who he really is. Are you IN, God? Oh, & Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! #SelfAcceptance #Grateful

 

Song: ‘Everyone is Gay’ A Great Big World
