About Northern Lights
Northern Lights is the official community blog of North Star International. It was created by several established bloggers who are believing members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and who have first-hand experience with issues surrounding homosexuality. Northern Lights is to be a place where we and our readers can openly explore and discuss topics and issues of interest to the LDS community—and particularly as they relate to homosexuality and Mormon faith and culture—in an edifying and uplifting manner and within the framework of commitment to the beliefs and ideals of the Church. >>MOREThink about what matters most…

Notorious
It’s great to know that many faithful latter-day saints who experience same gender attraction (how’s that for a PC description?) are sharing their thoughts, feelings, and testimonies online. I can only imagine what a difference these voices would have made … Continue reading
