Austin Was a Mormon, an Exmormon Profile Spotlight

As a member of the church and also a gay person, the November policy of exclusion in 2015 was the last straw for Austin.

I had my name removed from the records in 2015 when the Policy of Exclusion was leaked. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. By that point, I had been “out” (as in as a gay person) for 11 years, and I was tired of being celibate and being told that I would be “fixed” in the next life and that there was something inherently wrong with me. I was tired of having monthly worthiness interviews to make sure I wasn’t doing anything inappropriate. – Austin
