ARIZONA FAMILY


Danna (daughter)
Often, we'll be reading a scripture and it'll mention something about how it's not right and our teachers will talk to us. But for the most part they try to like avoid it around me, cause they know it's really hard. I mean, I love my dad and there's no way that I could not love my dad, just because he's a homosexual.

Ember (daughter)
So like freshman year I come out--it's so weird to say that--but I come out to my friends about my dad. And it takes guts, you know? It takes guts to admit that someone you love, someone that is very much a part of you and you are very much a part of them and have come from them, is gay, and is what the world tells you is horrible.

Dwight (father)
From the outside we would have looked like a model Mormon marriage, but inside, you know, it was very different.

Jan (mother)
It's a constant struggle, but at this point I just feel that I can live with the struggle. I can't give up my membership in something that's brought me so much joy in my life, and yet I also have a deep respect for the journey that my ex-husband is going through. While I may not agree in the direction that it's gone, he is the father of my children and he has as much right to live his life to his convictions, as I feel I have to live my life to my convictions.
