# Why I left More stories of 'Why I left' the Mormon church

I first read the letter for my wife and I couldn't reconcile with the facts it contains, Joseph Smith was not a good man, he wasn't even pleasant from the sound of it. After that I struggled to see why I should stay. During my deconstruction of the church I discovered I'm bi sexual and started to look into how the church treats the LGBTQ community, it didn't help.
