Fewer words have more charge—or more meanings—than the word “pride” in the LDS community.
What has been your journey with “pride”? What does it—and its possible opposite term, “humility—mean to you? We celebrate and seek stories about queerness from our LGBTQIA+ siblings while also welcoming all angles of wrestling with pride and humility at a broad level. This could be a piece about reclaiming your value and worth, identifying what you are unapologetically proud of, recognizing or making space for your achievements, allusions to Pride and Prejudice, or examining how pride cycles in the Book of Mormon have mapped onto your life experiences. We also welcome humor and hubris, always.
Written submissions are due by April 15, 2025. Please follow the guidelines. Authors and artists should identify with the mission of Exponent II.
