About Face

This episode explores the complexities of growing up as a gay Mormon. Sam opens up about the struggles he faced while at Brigham Young University, threats from the community, the possibility of expulsion, and what it was like to graduate as one of the first openly gay students at BYU nearly 20 years ago. We talk about his life since graduation, including recovery from alcohol addiction, his experiences with other "cults" and the spirituality of travel.
