John Dehlin, Mormon Podcaster, LGBTQ Scholar and Activist,
Responds to Apostasy Charges while Expressing Concern about the
Disciplinary Process of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints


this dude has completely lost his crap.

i dare anyone in the great state of utah to call utah state university and asked them to put you in touch with any LGBT Scholars from their university.

All other things aside, is there not good reason to express "Concern about the
Disciplinary Process of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints"?

Apparently it's not allowed if John Dehlin has any association with it.

That's right, John Dehlin is the biggest problem that we have. :lol:

It appears he has published with the Journal of Gay & Lesbian Mental Health
Anybody know what he has published here?

How many times in how many forums must one publish in before being considered a scholar in that topic?

Linking is counterproductive.

Just absolutely shocking that Dehlin would label himself as an LGBT activist. This guy is completely out of control. A self-serving narcissist that will stop at nothing in the quest for fame.

What a punch in the gut that he would continue to use the LGBT world in this way. What an asshole. In no way has he sacrificed or did anything of worth for the LGBT community.

This really hits home hard because I know real warrior LGBT activists (vast majority not Mormon) here on the east coast. Personal note, when I was kid and my brother came out it was awful. I remember older peers saying the worst crap, threatening to beat me down, thankfully my brother skipped town (he became a very notable activist featured and published in many different forms of media), I mean it was a real battle. Dehlin was and will never be in those trenches. He advanced nothing. He is a sick twisted dude to claim LGBT activist title.

Of course Peggy will jump on this. I do not read much news from Utah but my understanding is this is the type of thing to quote to get the readers.

Conducting research (on the backs of others) does not make you an activist.

Easy enough to throw that out there I suppose, but it might be interesting to actually see what he has published in the field.
