About this listen
My plan was simple. Serve a full-time mission. Go to college. Get married. Stick it out 'til death.
That’s not what happened.
I began my studies at BYU, hoping to strengthen my faith while I searched for love. That's when I met both Claire and Easton.
Claire was the girl who promised a sure path to eternal marriage, the only cost being my happiness. Easton was the boy who offered a fresh take on life, a temptation that could risk my schooling. I knew who I wanted, and who I was supposed to want.
Reconciling my faith and sexuality was my only goal. But if Bishop Stoll discovered my actions, my BYU enrollment would be called into question.
I had embarked on an honest search for answers, but the fallout of that pursuit would threaten more than my education.
