1512: Thriving After Mormon Electroshock Torture - Nate Winterton Dec 05, 2021

Show notes

A strong trigger warning for the following episode for discussions around conversion therapy, descriptions of torture, anorexia, and suicide. Mormon Stories is honored to have conversion therapy survivor, suicide survivor, and LGBT+ advocate Nate Winterton on to tell their harrowing story. If you thought the days of Mormon electroshock torture were relics of the past, Nate recounts what they endured at the hands of an LDS “therapist” as recently as 2016. Growing up with enormous health challenges, Nate recognized feelings of same-sex attraction early on in their childhood.

We discuss Nate’s staunch commitment to the Mormon faith, anorexia while serving a mission, and Nate’s decision to confide in a bishop about their feelings for men, leading Nate to a house and a therapist that would change the course of their life.

Please practice self-care as you listen to this episode as we highlight the unfortunate reality that the practice of conversion therapy and torture to change the sexual orientation of gay Mormons continues still today.

**Trigger warning on this episode***

Show notes

Originally recorded December 1, 2021.

The next-day re-recording of John Dehlin's transparency Q&A about Mormon Stories Podcast, the Open Stories Foundation and the THRIVE Foundation, made in response to the Salt Lake Tribune's inquiry by Peggy Fletcher Stack and Tony Semerad. John calls this the "decaffeinated version"; the original November 30 recording with Carah Burrell is episode 1511a.

1511a: Mormon Stories Transparency Q&A for Peggy Fletcher Stack and Tony Semerad - Salt Lake Tribune (original recording) Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

As part of our longstanding and undying commitment to organizational transparency, please join me for a spontaneous Q&A about Mormon Stories Podcast, the Open Stories Foundation, the THRIVE Foundation, and any other topic you want us to discuss! Please post your questions in the comments below!!!

This video was made primarily as a response to what we believe was an unprofessional and unbalanced inquiry into the THRIVE Foundation by Peggy Fletcher Stack and Tony Semerad of the Salt Lake Tribune.

This is my second attempt at a response. My first response was a little angrier than I wanted it to be (I'm calling that the "caffeinated version"), and so I am rerecording to invoke my wiser self ("decaffeinated version"). The substance will remain the same, although the slides are slightly improved.
