It Even Gets Better for Straight Spouses

Holly, August 12, 2012August 12, 2012

Here’s an “It Gets Better” video made by a group of straight spouses in MOMs:

OK, I can’t make the embed code work, so here’s the link to the youtube page: http://youtu.be/xkKoD1uVbrE

The “about” page of the website of the group that produced the video, Straight Spouses, states

We started as an informal group of LDS women with children, on a journey to find peace with our religion and our lives, the center of which seemed to always be the fact we are or once were married to a gay or bisexual spouse. Soon our group began to grow, including men and people from other religious (primarily Christian) backgrounds.

I find it interesting that a couple of spouses claim that divorce actually saved their relationships with their (former) spouses and their families.
