In March 2000, while leaders of the LDS Church were engaged in an costly anti-gay crusade in California, four gay Mormons killed themselves within four weeks. For members of Affirmation: Gay and Lesbian Mormons, this was a horrific wake-up call. Since 1965, more than 30 gay Mormons have committed suicide. In the last two years, we have organized memorial services and candlelight vigils to remember our dead and raise awareness about this health crisis in our midst. We do this in the hope of helping prevent more suicides.

This playwright is Mormon. She says she gave copies of the play to her Bishop and Stake President before it went public and intends to send her work to every single General Authority.
