A Light In the Darkness Episode 7 - Becky Mackintosh

Becky Mackintosh is a popular speaker known for her inspirational stories, honest approach and open heart. She enjoys traveling, humanitarian work and caramel apples. She is the best-selling author of Love Boldly: Embracing your LGBTQ Loved Ones and Your Faith. She is the proud and humbled mother of seven children and an ever-growing number of grandchildren. She lives in Lehi, Utah, with her husband, Scott, in a nest that’s never quite empty.

After one of her sons came out as gay, Becky found herself becoming more open about her experiences as a Latter-day Saint mother of an LGBTQ loved one. As more people learned of her story, she began receiving emails and calls from other concerned parents of LGBTQ children as well as the LGBTQ themselves. Since then, she has armed herself with helpful tools, having completed certifications in QPR and Youth Mental Health First Aid as well as a Grief Support.  

 

The Mackintosh family was filmed for the "Mormon and Gay" website, a video that now has over a million views.  If you'd like to learn why, you can visit:
