Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide and suicidal ideation.

Nathan always knew he was different growing up. He also knew the LDS church had certain expectations of him: He’d do his mission, find a girl, get married and settle down. Being gay? Not part of that plan.

Nathan does everything he can to be straight, including sending himself to “conversion therapy.” It, of course, doesn’t work. Then … he starts to uncover his true self. And his true self is beautiful.

This episode was originally broadcast in 2018. To hear a recent interview with Nathan, become a TTFA Premium member.
