My friend Jillyan Adams bravely shares her story coming out as gay at BYU, trying to date men, considering a road of celibacy, and eventually into a same-sex marriage.   Neither Jillyan or I are inviting others down a path outside of the teaching of our Church, but I believe it is helpful to hear her story.  Brigham Young taught:  “I wish to urge upon the Saints … to understand men and women as they are, and not understand them as you are.’   Jillyan talks about her Latter-day Saint family navigated this road and attended the marriage.   Yes Jillyan understands she can’t fully participate in the Church, but still attends family events and is supportive of her friends in the church.  Thank you Jillyan for sharing your story.  You have a good life ahead of you!
