But thats not likely the story well see on the TLC program. What well probably see is the naïve optimism spawned by a morass of inaccurate information swirling inside the Mormon culture. And while Stans story provides one of a thousand examples of why such naïve optimism is a perilous path, even more frightening is the possibility that the lives of these men will be held up as the exemplar by well-intentioned but woefully uninformed Mormon parents of gay youth. But there is a way out. The Family Acceptance Projects evidence-based approach teaches Mormon families and communities to respond to LGBT individuals (especially youth) in a way that keeps them safe from significant health risks, including depression and suicide, and helps keep tragedies like Stans from repeating. But while the LDS Church has had access to the nondenominational materials since 2008, and the Mormon version since 2012, weve failed to integrate them into our formal church curriculum and equip our parents and community with information that can save lives. huffingtonpost/mitch-mayne/tlcs-my-husbands-not-gay-_b_6364074.html
