'Our goal is to find a positive journey through the mud and storms of life

Ms Nicholson's story is by no means unusual in the Mormon community, with many more men starting to come forward.

Last week, Josh Weed and his wife, Lolly, posted the story of their relationship on his blog, which generated more than 3,000 comments.

Happily married: Josh and Lolly Weed have been together for 10-years

Mr Weed, a marriage and family therapist in the Northwest, said he had known he was gay since his teens, and Lolly was the first person he told.
They since married, and after ten years, have three daughters together.
He told theSalt Lake Tribune: 'For 10 years, I felt strongly we needed to keep things quiet. Then that changed. My wife voiced it first. We needed to be more authentic. It was time to tell our story.'
Mr Weed says the majority of responses to his story have been positive, however some comments have been negative, including allegations that he is part of the 'ex-gay movement,' and encouraging 'reparative therapy'.
He disagreed: 'I am totally against reparative therapy, and trying to change sexual orientation is a disservice to clients.'
