Gay Mormons are not the problem. Small-minded religious paradigms are

Kate Kelly

As a young Mormon girl I was taught a powerful hymn, and the chorus became ingrained in my life: “Do what is right; let the consequence follow.” Paradoxically, speaking out against gender inequality in the Church and founding a group called Ordain Women is what led to my excommunication from the Mormon Church in June 2014. But it was my Mormon upbringing and sense of personal integrity that helped me stick to my principles even in the face of being forcibly ejected from my community. Mormons, after all, do what is right and we let the consequences follow.
