In this episode we are finishing up the deaths of both of Shelly's parents. Morbid? A little bit. This is part 2 of Shelly's Dad's Funeral. It's kind of surreal that my mom and dad are both gone. Life is...well, surreal. Enjoy!
-
In this episode, Shelly has to deal with yet ANOTHER Mormon funeral. That makes 3 in about 6 months. She's earned the title of Grim Reaper at this point. Too soon? Eh, sorry. ANYWAY, this is part 1 of 2 of her Dad's funeral. Also, welcome special guest-host Jen, a fellow ex-mo-later-in-life lesbian, as we talk and laugh our way through part 1 of Shelly's Dad's Funeral. Enjoy!

Remember in the last episode when Shelly and Austin were discussing Austin's soon-to-be new dick? Well, this is part two. Enjoy!
-
In this episode, our good friend Austin Arrowwood is only a few days away from his gender-affirming surgery. You will learn that despite what your ultra-conservative family might tell you, you can't just walk into a clinic, tell them you feel like a boy, and they will staple your new dick on before lunchtime. Lots to learn. Enjoy!

In this episode, Shelly's dad dies. Not literally on the show (that would have been super-weird) but just a few days before this episode was recorded. Plus, Shelly and guest co-host Kirsten get extremely sidetracked with a conversation about karaoke. Also, you will learn about Shelly's brother's magical priesthood ability to "release" dead people from their bodies. I'm not kidding.

More Mormon funeral discussion? Hell yeah. In today’s episode, guest host Kirsten Morgan helps Shelly unpack the rest of her mom’s funeral, and there’s plenty of it. As an added bonus, you will get to hear Shelly’s talk that she gave from the pulpit, in a Mormon chapel, in front of hundreds of Mormons. Did she announce that she is gay? Of course she did. Did the church burn to the ground? Listen up and find out.

In this episode, Shelly decides it will be really fun to quiz Mary on some of mainstream religions' more wacky beliefs. Can you guess which answers she got right? Also, we read a listener letter, and get stuck on an odd discussion about foreskins. It happens.

The title of this episode could probably have been a FUMPOTD. Perhaps we thought it was too obvious? Feel free to cue music in your head when we get to that part. And there's nothing like a "Shelly's Journal Journey" segment to make us feel inspired to take the covenant path...or perhaps to get us all to start thinking it's all fake? You decide! We'd also like to thank Rose for submitting today's listener letter. If you'd like to get in touch, please visit latterdaylesbian.org/contact. Thanks!

In this year-end episode, we talk about those holiday tunes that should possibly be banned once and for all...or maybe a few of the examples are a stretch? Give a listen and decide for yourself. Also, Shelly discusses her recent trip to Utah, and there's even a surprise FUMPOTD at the end! We want to give special thanks to all of our Patreon and Supercast subscribers. We couldn't keep this show going without you! Sign up at www.latterdaylesbian.org/support, at the $5 and above level, by 12/31/22 to receive this year's Christmas letter (obviously not in time for Christmas). We'd really appreciate it. Happy holidays everybody!

In today's episode, Shelly reads once again from her oh-so-riveting, circa 1990s journal, which sparks an impromptu FUMPOTD. Such a fun surprise that Mary can't begin to sort out, per usual. We also read a letter from a very special friend of the podcast.

In today's episode we're reading from two LDS-authored books: "Mormons & Homosexuality" and "Encouraging Heterosexuality." We're super stoked to debunk both of them. We also want to give a shout-out to our sponsor, Modest Mix Teas, who lovingly provided the delicious and subversive tea blends that delight our senses and encourage our unapologetic love of swearwords. Hooray for beverages that go against the word of wisdom or whatever.

Hey friends, Mary and Kirsten take the reins on this Latter-Day Lesbian and Queer Life Crisis Simulcast. We share some initial reactions to Under the Banner of Heaven, and manage to keep the spoilers to a minimum. Also, we're taking a bit of a break from podcasting, so we hope all of you have an amazing summer and we'll talk to you again in the fall.

Did you ever play that Hasbro board game with the cute little cars and the little pegs? Or wait...did you play the Mormon version?? That fun game where young adults are put to the test as they try to guess what the "right" decision is, and then get to experience copious amounts of guilt and shame and also fake punishments if they guess incorrectly? Well, we are ripping the shirt out of THAT game today. Even "Leave It In" Dan has something to say about it. We also have a FUMPOTD and an entry from Shelly's journal. Should be a good time.
