Note: Liberated Christians is a primarily about heterosexual relationships. While we are supportive of all sexual orientations, the leaders do not have the resources to assist them in their special issues. Thus, our Fellowship groups are not appropriate for gays/lesbians. However, individually Dave (an extreme heterosexual - Kinsey Scale= 0) has done extensive biblical research and has been active supporting biblical homosexuality for many years. However, there is no "official" stand as an organization on homosexuality other than general support.

Book For Mormons Out of the Bishops Closet
by Antonio Felix.

Tony Felix knew from childhood that he was gay, but as adutiful Mormon he was convinced by the Elders to marry and raise a family. Tony s faith and hard work brought him up through the ranks of the Mormon priesthood, but the murmurings of his forbidden desires did not leave. With access to the L.D.S. archives, Tony was able to locate the source of Mormon prejudice against gays. He discovered it didn't start with Joseph Smith, who had actually sealed (married) male-male couples, but traced back to Brigham Young and the Victorian Era when the Mormons were forced to desert polygamy.

This book is Tony s story. It reveals not only his anguish, but his ability to forgive a very mortal patriarchy blinded by unlimited power that lost sight of their human fallibility.

A bearer of theological promise and spiritual hope to lesbians and gay men who have wrongly suffered rejection and betrayal in the name of God. - Malcolm Boyd, The Advocate.
