Dear LDS Church, Why do you claim to love and care about me when a part of my genetic makeup is considered a "serious crime" in church approved literature? Sincerely,
A lesbian investigator who's been reading Preach My Gospel

A lesbian investigator who's been reading Preach My Gospel
Dear LDS Church, Transgender people exist. We're not sinning. It's not a choice. It's our identity. We deserve to be able to be baptized, hold the Priesthood, attend the temple, and have families, too. Sincerely, An Agender Femme Unorthodox Mormon
Dear LDS Church,
How do I know that all that uber-expensive "African mahogany" and "Egyptian marble" so often bragged about at the new Ogden temple was obtained ethically, especially considering your past treatment of brown folks? If its so expensive, why don't we spend some of the money on humanitarian causes rather than extra fancy building materials?
Signed ,
Christ, not $$, makes the temple great
Dear LDS Church, Why does a member of the bishopric have to check in on other classes to make sure nothing is going on? Are girls not trust worthy enough to tell the difference between right and wrong in class room setting?
Sincerely, a young woman.
Dear LDS Church,
Thank you for telling me my depression and "same gender attraction" was because I didn't have a testimony.
Sincerely, My suicide attempt made a lot of things more clear including my desire to not be in your church
Dear LDS Church,
It's comforting to know that all the emotional and verbal abuse I received from members was in order to keep me "righteous"
Sincerely, Still in therapy
Dear LDS Church,
How do we have members without acceptable living conditions, food and without clean water?
Sincerely, Why are you spending money on a mall?
Dear lds church,
I thank this church for making me feel like I'm worth something.
Signed, thankful YW
Dear LDS Church,
(specifically priesthood)
Just because you've been blessed by God doesn't mean you have more knowledge or authority than a medical professional.
Sincerely, Let Her Do Her Job
Dear LDS Church,
Thanks for teaching me that my sexuality is to be feared by not only myself but others.
Sincerely,
Someone who still gets anxious about physical contatct at 30.
Dear LDS church, Stop telling everyone life has no meaning or happiness outside the church. It is a destructive lie and leads to an us vs. them mentality. Sincerely, A happy Exmo
Dear LDS Church, Please stop looking at me like you feel sorry for me. I am a proud to be who I am, thankful for ALL my life lessons, my tattoos, my fashion choice, my stretched ear lobes. Also, please stop telling me people always ask about us, because when I do go back to church, nobody knows who I am and I constantly get mistaken for a “visitor”. Why am I one of the only non-white, non-married members of the church? Signed, A young, single mother, & woman of color, whom did not grow up in the church nor been to the temple. P.S. Please stop pressuring me to come back. I’ve felt uncomfortable every time I’ve been, and just thinking about going gives me anxiety, when I don’t even have social anxiety.
Dear LDS Church, Why do I feel the spirit so strongly when I talk to the young male missionaries, but not actually in church? There’s something wrong with that. Signed, A confused and inactive member
Dear LDS Church, Why are ALL the women in church so soft spoken, passive aggressive, dainty, almost frail-like, and even seem to dress alike? I stick out like a sore thumb, yet 90% of the women have no interest on even introducing themselves or getting to know me at all. Signed, A strong, outspoken, independent single mom raised in a MATRIARCHAL culture who will not change even the tiniest part of herself to “fit in”.
Dear LDS church, Our ward is in a pretty diverse location. The membership doesn’t reflect that at all. There’s a reason why you can’t retain non-white members. And it’s not very hard to figure out. Signed, A Native American woman
Dear LDS Church,
My autism is neither a punishment nor a trial. Please spare me your pitying, condescending words.
Signed,
An autistic teenager
Dear LDS church,
Shame on you for producing adults who keep my eighteen year old sister on a short, short leash called "waiting for her missionary". She is a kid, for crying out loud. She belongs to herself and only herself, and if you can't respect that you will not be welcome in our lives.
Signed,
not in the church but still affected (and pissed) in UT
