Visit the editor’s site to see what people have said about the Crossroads book, including Latter-day Saint authors Carol Lynn Pearson, Judy Dushku, Richard Ostler, Bryce Cook, Valerie Nicole Green, David Ostler, and Clair Barrus:
What should LGBTQ people do in a church with doctrines that seem at odds with who they are?
“I’m writing this book for some clearly different reasons. First, as the father of a gay son, I want to explain, and so hopefully do something productive with, the pain I feel from the church’s teachings about gay sexual orientation…I want to explore whether the church’s current position on gay sexual behavior is more reflective of human prejudice than it is divine truth…I want to try to make amends for any harm I caused in the past as a leader in the church.”
Transgender issues need more attention than they are getting in the church. However, such issues are not discussed much in the Crossroads book as the author doesn’t have much personal experience with transgender church members. Without excusing that failure, the sincere hope is that any change in the church that benefits lesbian, gay, bisexual or questioning/queer individuals will produce changes that help transgender church members as well.
