One year ago Savannah told her parents that she identifies as a lesbian. While her parents supported her, it seems her church may not have granted her that same understanding.

According to CNN, Savannah, a 12-year-old from Utah, delivered testimony before her Mormon church in which she said she is a lesbian. Standing before the church, Savannah spoke her truth, saying she knows being a lesbian is perfectly normal and listing her hopes and dreams for the future. But partway through Savannah's testimony, her mic cuts out.

"I thought it was broken at first. So, I turned around to talk to him," Savannah told CNN. "And then he told me to sit down."

CNN points out that a website put forth by the Mormon church called "Mormon and Gay" says people in the religion who come out publicly "should be supported and treated with kindness and respect, both at home and in church." HuffPost, however, indicates the site has some flaws in the way it addresses LGBTQ people. And while the site encourages the church to accept LGBTQ members, CNN reports the church stipulates that LGBTQ people should not act on their sexual desires.

In the testimony Savannah was able to deliver, she was calm and strong as she came out to her church.

"I believe I was made the way I am, all parts of me, by my heavenly parents. They did not mess up when they gave me brown eyes, or when I was born bald. They did not mess up when they gave me freckles or when they made me to be gay," she said. “No part of me is a mistake. I do not choose to be this way, and it is not a fad. I cannot make someone else gay and being around me won’t make anyone else this way. I believe that God wants us to treat each other with kindness, even if people are different.”

Savannah continued to say that she hopes to have a job, a partner, to hold hands and to live a fulfilling life in the future. While it's a shame she couldn't deliver her full speech, she certain got her message across.
