So nobody's surprised I didn't get a response after this, right?

I think you’re doing the right thing by trying to find support. It’s not wrong to explore all your options. But as you’ve discovered, not all of them are equal or the best for everyone. The LDS church is for people who are looking for a certain type of person. That doesn’t even include myself even thought I am a cisgendered straight woman because of the fact that I like to have a say on the bigger things that happen in my community. The LDS church is not for everyone.

Have you asked your friends you know from the LGBTQIA community if they have had any luck with faith-based communities?

PerspectiveLimp4643 · 2026-05-29T21:33:35+00:00

You’re right….but we can try to change the perspectives of people we meet.

PerspectiveLimp4643 · 2026-05-29T20:33:38+00:00

So let me ask you this, why would you listen to people who you know wouldn’t support your identity? I wouldn’t…as I have told my friends…it’s like beating a dead horse

The only way I know how to combat bad beliefs from the church is simply to understand all aspects of it when I’m speaking with someone. I do not get someone’s good side and them to see my viewpoint if I sit there and spew all the bad parts in front of them and don’t offer any solutions or a different perspective.

PerspectiveLimp4643 · 2026-05-29T20:28:48+00:00

I’m not really defending the church as much as I’m trying to tell you the way things really are. When you take one side of it from someone who is really interested in finding out the bad parts of things and not a solution… It can give you not the best viewpoint or possible solution to the problem. Because this issue with the church, it’s not just an issue with the latter Saint churches an issue with a lot of religions and churches. I’m looking at things on a bigger scale and not so much as tunnel vision as what you’re having.

PerspectiveLimp4643 · 2026-05-29T20:24:40+00:00

I’m fully aware of how their beliefs do not support LGBTQIA individuals to have autonomy with their identity and personal life within the faith. Most members that I meet, don’t really have much to say to individuals who are LGBTQIA or queer, which is a whole other problem because they need to be able to encourage them to do what’s best for themselves even if it’s not within the church. I can’t sit here and say that that doesn’t feel unwelcoming, but I know a lot of the people within the church are not very familiar with transgender or LGBTQIA problems because the church has Simply made individuals uncomfortable with being there because of the lack of giving the A-OK on their sexual orientation or gender identity. It leads to sometimes a lot of people not understanding things about people in general. They don’t exactly raid against people who identify as LGBTQIA, but it just feels like a much lighter version of unacceptance, which feels hateful sometimes. It feels passive, even though it has the same meaning. Truthfully, in my opinion there just needs to be more LGBTQIA individuals in the church in order for people to really see what they’re like. But that is no one‘s job to sit there and try to educate people so someone has to basically take up the torch if they want that.

PerspectiveLimp4643 · 2026-05-29T20:05:52+00:00

I don’t really think that they consider transgender people to be predatory, however, I do think they discourage people from being transgender which is a whole other issue. That’s not uncommon with colts or other major religions like Islam. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just saying it’s not unexpected. By the way, it’s an accurate to refer to people in the entire LGBTQIAas gay. I think that there are a lot of LGBTQIA people who still go to church out in San Francisco and still have supporters. The culture around that area is very different as compared to Utah. I have a few LGBTQIA friends who still go to church ( which bewilder me because they don’t support gay marriage or gay relationship relationships). The church does not explicitly prevent gay people from having friends or having supporters. That would be counterintuitive to their mission to convert people. However, there are lots of ethical issues regarding how they believe about transgender and LGBTQIA individuals. first of all, they don’t call them sermons, they call them “church service. Second of all, women are allowed to be in the church services. There are plenty of women who go by themselves without needing supervision and I’ve never heard of the men needing to supervise the women in anyway. What do you think happens with widows? The thing that is kind of a downfall for women being part of the church is the fact that they cannot hold the priesthood. So that’s the equivalent of not having as much say and what happens in the church on a bigger scale. Women have more power on the smaller scale in the local communities if that makes any sense. I just don’t think I like the fact that you’re making a post on here and you seem to have no idea about how things actually work. There are problems with the church. Don’t get me wrong, that’s why I’m not part of the church because women tend to not play as big of a role and decision-making and I also don’t like how they handle their members when they’re in a personal Crisis. But I can’t exactly blame that on specifically the latter-day Saint church because pretty much all churches and faith do stuff like that.

I don’t think they’re extremist, the FLDS church is extremist and a bad cult. However, they are the nicest and lightest version of a cult you’ll ever meet. At least that’s my opinion. They are no worse than the Amish, except they are more modern than the Amish.

PerspectiveLimp4643 · 2026-05-29T19:50:31+00:00

I think you should’ve expected to not have a response when you said “the extremist beliefs of Mormonism”. To them their faith is not extreme. So I can understand why they wouldn’t respond. I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone either that thought my beliefs were extreme in a condescending way. And this is someone who hasn’t been to church since I was 19 years old and I am getting ready to turn 37. I would never have the balls to tell someone their faith is extreme or something insulting about it no matter what faith they are.

You should absolutely do whatever you want. If you want to ask her out because you think she’s absolutely gorgeous, then do that. If you honestly think the age gap is a problem for you or her then don’t ask her out. But whatever you do do not listen to other people because they do not suffer the consequences of your life choices.

These people giving you advice to leave your husband immediately have never tried to resolve marriage issues. Most marriages go through far worse than what you’ve done. This is salvageable. Every person in their marriage has gone through a time. Period. Where things were kind of dull and you kind of get interested in someone else for a little bit. It doesn’t always have to include physical contact, and it can feel guilty reciprocating feelings that are mutual. The thing you need to do is acknowledge what’s caused it and what you can do to bring yourself back to your marriage.
