Mormon Parents Create ‘It Gets Better’ Video
Mormon parents are defending their gay children in a new video that confronts The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ disapproval of homosexuality.
The video to be released during a national gay conference for Mormons in Washington, D.C., on Saturday is part of the ongoing “It Gets Better” project, which seeks to give hope to bullied lesbian and gay teenagers.
In the video, the parents recall how they struggled with their faith when their children first came out as gay. The parents say God wants them to love their children despite their sexual orientation.
The video follows a similar project released by gay students at Brigham Young University in Utah last month. In that video, the Mormon students say they believe God loves them as they are.
