This episode explores issues of gender and sexuality in Mormon communities. Dr. Taylor Petrey, author of Tabernacles of Clay: Sexuality and Gender in Modern Mormonism, joins us to discuss the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints’ current positions on gender and the place of LGBTQ Mormons. We explore tensions within Mormon communities around these issues, why the LDS Church was so opposed to civil same-sex marriage, and Mormon ideas about womanly perfection as depicted in the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
