LGBTQ Mormon people and organizations

Although the historical record is often scarce, evidence points to LGBTQ individuals having existed in the Mormon community since its beginnings, and estimates of the number of LGBTQ former and current Mormons range from 4 to 10% of the total membership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). However, it wasn't until the late 1950s that top LDS leaders began regularly discussing LGBTQ people in public addresses. Since the 1970s a greater number of LGBTQ individuals with Mormon connections have received media coverage.
