“We were creating the perfect Mormon family, and then I fell in love with my friend.” The lifechanging story of two women who left the Mormon church for love. The all-new documentary “Mormon No More” is streaming June 24 only on Hulu.
Original source (ABC/Youtube)
I get a headache every time I step inside a LDS church.
The segregation the cult puts people through is absolutely appalling… I hate that religion exists… I hate that I grew up as a Christian, only to learn about the ways people use it to exploit for power.
Before Friday, June 24th.
Mormonism to an abomination before God….no matter how much they try to get us to accept it we cannot, nor can we condemn it but we will never accept it as normal…
Sung to the tune of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTXyXuqfBLA
I rebuke you Satan in the name of Jesus
How is this news? It is a personal story that has no newsworthy value. I’m not upset that it is advertised on YouTube. I’m disappointed that ABC news is advertising as news and YouTube logarithms put it first on the results when I search “news” and expect to see stories about current events occurring in the world. Not just another endorsement of the LGBT movement.
You can be gay and still go to church. Not that I know anyone who does, but I'm just saying.
This is huge, I'm so excited to watch! So beautiful 🌈🌈🌈
"What nobody tells you when you're Mormon, is that there actually IS another way". THIS. I would be so much better off in my life if I had learned this at 16 instead of 46. I've never been happier than the last 8 years since leaving the religion.
The Mormon church isn’t even true so quit tripping. It’s a cult created by a sex addict. It’s meaningless.
“My truth” as if truth is relative. God’s eternal truth is not changeable.
There's life outside mormonism and is beautiful! No more waiting for the celestial kindome and a planet near Kolob, life is here and now! love it! live it! enjoy it!
Amazingly I left the church in time so that when my youngest daughter came out as gay, she never had to go through any of that trauma.
Life is hard enough. That anyone would choose a faith that adds to the emotional pain through simply being oneself seems unfathomable to me now.
Be who you were born to be.
Feel what you are meant to feel.
Distrust anyone that claims to speak for a god or gods, for they don't have your well being in mind.
This life is the time to experience as much of it as you can.
You deserve to feel safe and loved doing so.
Love and Joy to these women ❤️
“What nobody tells you when you’re Mormon is that there actually is another way” It’s so so true. As a queer exmormon, my happiness was and still is constantly scrutinized as not being genuine because I’m no longer a part of the church.
The structure of the Mormon church, and so many other churches is so toxic and harmful. The belief is ingrained in totally believing parents that they will never see their family again in the afterlife if they don’t obey, so it puts a lot of pressure on everyone involved.
It’s SO freeing to realize that there IS another way, and that the Mormon church (or any other church) does not have a monopoly over true happiness. It’s just so devastating to lose relationships with loved ones during the already life shattering process.
The power of the mind-prison that is the Mormon experience is really hard to understand unless you've lived it. So glad people are talking about this and normalizing choosing a different path if the one you're on isn't fulfilling you.
Also, please advocate and vote for restricting the power of these abusive religions. Again, I don't think the general population understands how indoctrinating and abusive the church is or how strongly they program members to defend the church. It's honestly scary. They do not deserve a tax-exempt status.
I love the Church and its teachings…my niece is in a lesbian relationship and even if she doesn't come to church anymore she feels the love of her family and local leaders with no reserve. It's easy to say all the leaders in the church are bad or Homophobic..the "mormon" church follows the teachings of Jesus Christ through the Bible and the Book of Mormon. If someone stop believing in it that does mean that church is not true or its members are bad people. Everyone is able and free to make decisions, either to leave the church or stick with it.
Do you think ABC would ever do such a story on someone who escaped Islam or converted from "progressive" to sane person? Asking for a friend.
This documentary is gonna be sooo gay
Members of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints No More doesn't roll as well… maybe the next prophet will let us refer to them as Mormons again 🙂
Wow so excited to see this (loved their Mormon Stories episode), hope to see many more documentaries on the pain of faith crisis especially from the LBTQ angle.
YES! I love these women SO, SO much!!! If you haven’t, go watch their interviews with John Dehlin on Mormon Stories Podcast. INCREDIBLE. To say the least. Thank you Hulu for sharing these ladies’ stories. ♥️
Mo Mo No Mo
I am neither gay or Mormon or even believe in God. But I cheer them on for their courage and authenticity. Yolo.
The mormon church is so damaging that way of thinking and living its so much happier and healthier when you leave.
This is going to make me cry all the time every episode. Lena and Sal are such beautiful and authentic people. Cant waiiiiiiiit for the world to meet them!! Yay yay yay! 💫
Beautiful. I’m watching it… I’m in love with a Married Mormon man- He won’t ever leave Mormonism, and I understand why… this woman is incredibly brave. It takes balls to turn your life upside down on purpose and come out on the other side, whole. I’ve been there.
Way to break free from the bondage of old men trying to squeeze the life out of your lives with fear, uncertainty, and doubt using shame and guilt to try to control your behavior all the way to the grave. 👏👏👏
I was a convert to the LDS life. When I was baptized I made a promise to myself should I find out the Church not be what it claimed I would leave. I did both.
I cannot relate you your truth, but I have a feel for the difficulty in discovering who you are following your LDS experience. It is very difficult to begin again and realize there are different truths for everyone and it is okay. I respect your truth and wish you only the best in your complex challenges.

Love this angle. Would also love to see representation from a cisgender perspective and figuring out the church is false from a purely intellectual angle too, like Scientology’s Going Clear. That story has not been told either.
They appear in the trailer but I hope they focus some of it on the spouses they left and divorced so they could be together. They definitely get the short end of the stick or the shaft as they say. Forever having to say their ex-wife left them for another woman. How painful that must be. I just hope this never happens to me.
This must have been so devastating as strong, worthy active members. You devoted so much if not all of yourself to this religion, only to realize that you were in fact not the church’s picture of what’s perfect. This must have been extremely heartbreaking for everyone involved and I can’t even imagine what this particular pain feels like. Well wishes to all involved and I hope you’ve all found peace in your authenticity & honesty. ❤️

Wow. Mormons be out here really repping the true and everlasting gospel, that being to be afraid of all things not white, male, and hetero.
