LGBT Mormon people and organizations

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