During the LDS Church’s semiannual conference this weekend, one group will hold a memorial service for gay and transgender Mormons who have committed suicide.
The Foundation for Reconciliation, a group working to foster greater understanding between the church and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population, will highlight the plight of some Mormons who have felt despair — in some instances, to the point of ending their own lives — over LDS teachings that being in a gay relationship is sinful.
The service is Sunday at 7 p.m. at the First Unitarian Church, 569 S. 1300 East, Salt Lake City.
