In Still Rowing episode 48, Leland Wilson describes some of the difficulties associated with experiencing same-sex attraction as a young man and his decision to leave the church as a teenager to pursue the gay lifestyle. For the next 38 years he battled drug and sexual addiction, but periodically felt God’s love and influence amidst a life contrary to the covenants he’d made in his youth. Then after a turn of events, Leland felt inspired to move back to Utah and recounts how the Lord placed loving Latter-day Saint members in his life that helped him return to the fold and resume the covenant path and a life of discipleship.

Ep.48: Why as a Gay Man I Chose to Return to the Church After 38 Years - Leland Wilson

My friend Leland Wilson shares his journey as a gay Latter-day Saint.   Leland left the Church (and Southern Utah) around 1983 (in his late teens). Leland lived a successful life as a floral designer and had a same-sex partner for 15+ years. Leland returned to Southern Utah in 2017 and ultimately returned to full activity in the Church. Thank you my friend Leland for being on podcast. Glad you are alive.  Thank you for sharing your journey. Your story will help others. You are a good man
