Season 5 Ep. 3: Utah's Legacies of Conversion Therapy

About this Episode

In this episode, we explore the history of LGBTQ+ relations with the Mormon Church that led up to the conversion therapy that occurred at Utah’s universities, the story of the conversion therapy itself, and what queer relations with the church look like today. An interview with Connell O'Donovan, a leading queer Mormon historian, gives perspective on both what it was like to be a queer member of the church in the 1970s and how he helped expose the conversion therapy that occurred.
