099: Aaron and Marie Jones | A discussion about our gay daughter, the church, and love.

What happens when you hear the words, "mom and dad, I'm gay"? How do you react, what do you say, and what does the path forward look like?

Aaron and Marie Jones, the parents of a lesbian daughter share a raw and candid discussion detailing their personal journey through sexuality and religion. He's a former bishop, she's an educator and wife in a rural, conservative, Utah community--factors that make any coming out experience difficult, at best.

In this episode the Jones' discuss the progress they have made as they work to better understand the LGBT community, their own 'coming out' experience, and what Aaron and Marie want the LDS community to know about the power of loving people, unconditionally.
