Image by me, probably 2012 or so. (Just pretend those flowers are a rainbow flag, okay?) Hi. I’m Katie. I’m a Mormon, and I’m gay. I knew I was Mormon first. It was kind of hard to miss. I was born into a Mormon family, and raised VERY Mormon. I was blessed when I was a baby, and baptized into the church when I turned 8. My family went to all three hours of church every Sunday, read scriptures every morning, said prayers together twice a day, and held Family Home Evening on Monday nights.
