Episode 823: Darice Auston, LDS Mother of a Trans Child, Gather Conference June 2025
Update: 2025-04-16
Description
My friend Darice (married mother of four including a transgender daughter, Gather Conference Director) joins us to share her story including:
1) Proximity to LGBTQ people—seeing their goodness/gifts/kindness
2) Being uncomfortable with the 2015 policy statements—"didn’t align with my spiritual integrity”
3) Being called as Stake Relief Society President and her work to help everyone feel loved and that they belong—including having a Stake inclusion specialist
4) Supporting her transgender daughter and her upcoming marriage to her non-binary partner
5) Living in “complexity” and how that gives her more perspective/tools to help others
6) Getting involved with Gather
7) Upcoming Gather Conference on June 27-28, 2025
Thank you, Darice, for your work to bless so many lives. I encourage everyone to listen to Darice’s story and attend Gather. Thank you for all your work (and many others with Gather) to build Zion and help everyone feel loved and welcome.
