Leading Saints' Kurt Francom organized a fantastic virtual summit targeted at teachers and leaders in the LDS Church who want to understand and love LGBTQ+ students and their friends or family in LDS classrooms better. We simply can't recommend this summit enough. By listening to the summit, you'll find help with
- teaching the current positions on LGBTQ+ issues
- being understanding and loving to your students who have friends and family members who are LGBTQ+
- loving your students who are LGBTQ+
- handle questions and concerns about LGBTQ+ issues without compromising the Church's standards
If you only have a little bit of time...
There were dozens of speakers at the virtual summit. If you only have a limited amount of time, you should focus on the presentations given by Chelsea Chapman, who is a CES Teacher, Dave Smurthwaite, who performed a survey of LDS teenagers to find out how teachers can best minister to them in a faithful way, and Tom Brocksome, who is a high school teacher.
