Charlie Bird: Coming Out and Coming Into God's Light

In February 2019, Charlie Bird published an op-ed through the Deseret News that revealed two secrets: 1. He was the man underneath the Cosmo the Cougar suit that made national headlines and led NBC Sports to dub 2017–2018 the "Year of the Mascot." 2. He is a gay member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Next month, Charlie will release a book called "Without the Mask," and on today's episode we talk with Charlie about what the gospel continues to teach him as he embraces a life that is very different than the one he planned for himself.

"Connecting with God has helped me see that my faith and my orientation are not mutually exclusive. They are both integral parts of who I am and if I try to reject either one of those, I'm not really me."
