LGBT Mormon people and organizations

However, it wasn't until the late 1950s that top LDS leaders began regularly discussing LGBT people in public addresses.

[12][13] Gary Watts, former president of Family Fellowship, estimates that only 10 percent of homosexual Mormons remain in the church.

[14] Others dispute that estimate, saying numbers in support groups for active Latter-day Saints and for self-identified gay Mormons are comparable.

[20] Others individuals at the LGBT-Mormon intersection include Lino Brocka, Cam Clarke, Reed Cowan, C. Jay Cox, Nate Dushku, Angela Ellsworth, Steven Fales, Antonio A. Feliz, Michael Glatze, John C. Hamer, Todd Herzog, Roy Jeffs, Manny MUA, Sue-Ann Post, W. H. Pugmire, John W. Bryant, Patriarch Joseph Fielding Smith, and evidence exists that this list may include historical figures like May Anderson, Louie B.

One published book's collection of resources for homosexual Mormons in the late 90s listed several email groups and online communities including Evergreen, Disciples2, LDS SSAers,[190] and Q-Saints[191] with most organization only leaving archived digital footprints.
