All Out in the Open

Why a Queer Asian Nonmember Showed Up At an LDS Institute

All Out in the Open, Questions from the Closet Season 7 Episode 46

This OUT and About episode features Atlas Nocturne (he/they). While at Arizona State University, Atlas began attending the Church’s Institute of Religion—even though they’re not a member.

They share what it was like to navigate faith spaces as a trans, non-binary person and how Church members made them feel welcome. Atlas’ story is a reminder that understanding and connection can bloom, even when we start from very different places.
