Benji Schwimmer on How LGBTQ Mormons are Deceived by the LDS Church

Professional dancer and choreographer, Benji Schwimmer, discusses his discomfort with the public relations efforts of the LDS church - particularly how "active" LGBTQ members are misrepresented within the Mormon community. He and John also go on to explain how this deception sets people up for failure, as it makes it impossible for Mormons struggling with same-sex attraction to ever achieve the ideals presented by the church.
