Laycie Was a Mormon, an Ex-Mormon Profile Spotlight

Laycie had a rude wake-up call when she was put into a situation to choose between her church and her child. Thankfully, she listened to her love and realized that she was in a cult. So happy to know that she got out and supported her child! ❤️

I’m here. I’m queer. I love the ocean, coffee, wine, and therapy. I was a mormon.

Born and raised Mormon. Life long internalized homophobia. Checked off all the boxes. 50 years, a husband of 30 years, and 4 kids later I woke up and realized that I was in cult.

My queer daughter told me I was toxic to her and didn’t love her for who she was. She wanted to end contact with me and it broke me. I couldn’t lose my child and I decided to get over my homophobia.

It led me to realize that the church leaders DO NOT speak for the god that I believed in at the time. I could see that god would never treat the lgbtq community the way the mormon leaders do and would never make me choose between church and my child.

Once I realized that they were absolutely wrong about that, I started asking myself what else they were wrong about…
