28: Mormon Gays Better Off at Church? Depends on How you Define "Better" - with Lisa Diamond

The Natasha Helfer Podcast

Back by popular demand, I had the amazing Dr. Lisa Diamond back on the show to discuss some recent research that has been making some buzz out of Utah State University. We are both concerned on how, without proper context, this kind of study will get weaponized within the LDS community as well as other high-demand religious communities. The study can be found here: "The Impact of Changes in Religion on Health Among Sexual Minority Mormons" by Dr. Tyler Lefevor Check out another article: "Jana Riess: Religion can help LGBTQ Latter-day Saints’ mental health, especially if they’re out of the closet"
