About
Joining us today is Chris Davis, who grew up in Bangor and is a relatively recent arrival in Portland. She attends college as an adult learner and works part-time while also parenting two young adults from a distance, one of whom identifies as transgender. In recent years Chris has been engaged in her own coming out: coming out as lesbian, coming out from a heterosexual marriage, and coming out from membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Mormons. And if that wasn’t enough, Chris is also soon to be out as a published author. She’s contributing an essay to a collection by ex-Mormon LBGTQ folks entitled I Spoke to You with Silence, to be published by the University of Utah Press. The title of Chris’ chapter is “Five Reasons Why I Didn’t Belong.”
