My Improbable Mormon Mission

When I walked into the Mormon church on Columbus Avenue, I felt a twinge of uneasiness. The chapel was wide with white walls and rows of dark wooden pews; it felt new and modern, more like a community center than a chapel. There were no religious symbols or stained-glass windows. But the giveaway was the organ and, of course, the altar, which I never expected to speak from.

How Attending My First Gay Wedding Changed Me As A Practicing Mormon

One year ago, I attended my sister and her girlfriend’s wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony that took place among fragrant pine trees in the mountains of Montana — but that’s not what I remember most about it. What I remember is witnessing pure joy in the countenance of someone I care for deeply, someone who has been through immense pain and many trials, someone who is finally living her truth.

The Political Progression of Modern Mormon Women

Even now, more than 100 years after the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints banned polygamy, the practice is often still viewed as stereotypically Mormon. For Mormon women in particular, these outdated polygamous caricatures obscure a rich history and ignore the complicated place Mormon women have held in faith and politics from the nineteenth century to the present day. In 1870, women in Utah territory were granted the right to vote and freely exercised their enfranchisement until 1887, when the federal government disenfranchised them. (When Utah achieved statehood in 1896, the right was restored.) In the early twentieth century, Mormon women led projects of reform and modernization as did other Progressive Era Americans. For much of the twentieth century, female leaders raised funds and independently administered an increasingly global community of Sister Saints. In the era of modern feminism, Mormon women fought for and against the Equal Rights Amendment. In short, women in the LDS Church, like most American women, have a varied and vivid history that has faced sweeping changes over the last century.
