Morman's Josh and Lolly Weed are married and have three children, despite Mr Weed being openly gay
With many Mormon leaders not only unsympathetic, but openly hostile to such news, many wives previously had nowhere to turn.Latter-day Saints in Ms Nicholson's West Valley City ward told her that gay-rights advocacy was Satan’s work, so she turned to the internet for a place to 'share stories, cry, laugh and encourage'.
However, after she found many of the groups already set up to be bitter, she launched Supportive Straight Spouses, which invites people to join a private Facebook support group.
As the number of Mormon women living with a gay husband appears to be on the rise, a support group has launched to offer emotional support.
Supportive Straight Spouseswas created by Sarah Nicholson after her husband announced he was gay on their tenth wedding anniversary.
Understanding that couples in the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints want to remain together, regardless of sexual orientation, the group aims to help couples navigate their new marriage circumstances.
