Xian Mackintosh

My friends Xian Mackintosh and Karson Phippen share they journey as gay Latter-day Saints.   Both served missions (Detroit and Philippines, respectively) and are moving forward in their lives.  Xian has a Master in Social Work and Karson is looking forward to Medical School.    They share staying close to Heavenly Father and the great support they are receiving from family and friends especially for their wedding in August 2019. Xian and his parents Scott and Becky Mackintosh joined me on Episode 173 to share the family story and Becky’s new book called ‘Love Boldly:  Embracing your LGBTQ Loved Ones and Your Faith’.   I encourage everyone to read this book (available of Deseret Book, Seagull Book and Amazon).  Yes, their path is outside the doctrine of our church that I sustain and support.  But these good men are still worthy of friendship and support as they use their agency to choose their path.  I hope and believe their marriage succeeds.   I love these words from Becky Mackintosh from their Church video realizing her son was stepping way: ‘I should be curled up in a ball, crying and thinking, “What’s happened to my eternal family?” Once you let it go, I’m laying this on the Savior’s feet, it feels like this big load is lifted, and you do have a peace (https://mormonandgay.churchofjesuschrist.org/videos?id=11549365994538963301).   Thank you Xian and Karson for sharing some of your story.   You two have great lives ahead of you.
