The homophobic teachings of the Mormon church killed my son

When Brian Bresee became a father, he was a sixth-generation Mormon who believed that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was a good faith tradition and environment in which to raise children. But when his 14-year-old son took his own life, Brian began to scrutinize the church’s teachings and practices. It was a journey that led him to a painful realization about the role the Mormon church played in his son’s death and perhaps the deaths of other LDS teens.
