Monday, we’re talking about the complicated relationship between the Mormon Church and homosexuality. Our guest is historian Gregory Prince who is working on a history that includes the public and not-so-public campaigns against same-sex marriage and their attempt at punishing and curing same-sex attraction. He also examines whether the LDS theology of an afterlife will ever have room for gay people. Prince is coming to Utah, and joins us to talk about Mormons and Gays.

Gregory Prince is an independent historian whose books include David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism [Indiebound|Amazon] and Leonard Arrington and the Writing of Mormon History [Indiebound|Amazon]. The working title of latest is Mormons and Gays.

Prince will be in Utah this Wednesday evening to deliver the 2017 Sterling M. McMurrin Lecture for the University of Utah's Tanner Humanities Center. His talk is called Science vs. Dogma: Biology Challenges the LDS Paradigm. The free event is at the downtown Salt Lake City Public Library and begins at 7:00 p.m.
