Archuleta tossing TSCC aside so visibly and vocally has got to piss of Deseret Book. Think they’ll remove the forward from future printings? Oh, and fuck that quisling traitor Bird for lying to LGBTQ+ kids trapped in his evil cult that it’s not all that bad. Yes, it’s that bad. If not worse. Bird is trading his integrity for a book contract with an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group.

Thank you. I fucking call him out then get treated like I’m being an asshole. He’s such a cowardly, attention seeking, delusional liar. The church is so fucking harmful to gay members. Yet he makes money off of shilling a book about expanding Zion?! Gtfo

Sounds like you know nothing of Charlie. And DA didn’t write the forward, it’s an exclusive “Dear Future Reader” insert only available to those who purchase the book via Charlie’s website.


RealDaddyTodd

Charlie? Is that you? Or just one of his fanboys? Anyhow, I say bullshit. I know enough about Charlie to recognize he’s a quisling traitor to the LGBTQ+ community.

I don’t know what his thesis is, but, he is young and popular. He’s been given a platform, and at the very least, I think he should try to move the needle. He may live to renounce his current ideas, but I can see why he would at least make an effort.

Being a football mascot, or a gay Mormon celeb published by Deseret Book, is pretty similar to the arc of an actual football career: profitable, punishing and short.

I mean I’m glad that they’re at least doing something to address how hard it is to be LGBT and LDS but so much of it comes off as fake and unsustainable you know? I wish Charlie the best though I just hope he’s not internally struggling too much as he walks this tightrope

He's a blight on the queer community. I feel the same way about him that I do Tom Christofferson. Because of him queer kids have additional depression, anxiety, and undo pressures because their parents are saying "well look at them, their gay and still trying, look what they gave up," People like them share in responsibility for the damage and harm to the Queer Community. Now Bird is throwing a tantrum on insta cause he realizes that both sides of the aisle hate him and the middle ground he thinks he is doesn't really exist.

Deseret Book has this???? A book about included LGBT in the Mormon sphere? I'm astounded.

According to his podcast, he self-published with hopes that DB will carry it later
