0:00.0	Hello, everyone. Welcome to Latter Day Struggles. This is Valerie, your host, and I am so excited to have a good friend and colleague here with me today and for the next several episodes. Hello, Taylor Petrie. How are you, my friend?
0:26.0	Valerie, it's so nice to be here with you. Yes, I was just thinking we have done quite a few little projects together. We did a pretty exhaustive, robust series on one of my favorite books,
0:31.8	The Tabernacles of Clay. We also did an analysis of the Book of Mormon and the various camps and how people are interpreting that
0:39.8	on a faith journey. And some of those series are some of my favorites and I've gotten so much
0:44.1	fun feedback from those that I cannot tell you how excited I am to have you back to talk about
0:50.3	a new book, something that just came out. You just had published Queering Kinship in the Mormon
0:57.0	Cosmos. And today and for the next three episodes after today, we are going to not just give
1:02.7	you an overview, because you know what we do here on Latter-day Struggles? We start there, but then we
1:06.8	really go deep in and talk a lot about this scholarship in the hopes that not only will
1:12.0	your minds be blown, but also I would love for you to go get this book and read it for
1:17.3	yourself because we are going to be tackling some of the topics, but not all of them.
1:21.7	And I am certain, I'm just really confident that you're going to be thinking about some topics connected
1:29.8	to Mormonism, gender sexuality in a way that perhaps has not crossed your mind yet. So welcome,
1:37.2	welcome, Taylor. So, so, so happy to have you here today. Really looking forward to it. Thank you.
1:42.4	So let's go ahead and do this. I'm going to give just a little bit of an
1:45.1	arc of what you're going to be learning about all of you for the next four episodes of this series.
1:50.3	Today is really going to be a bit of an overview of Taylor's work. And we're going to do some defining of some pretty large terms.
1:58.1	And also we're going to talk about Taylor's background and what brought him to this
2:02.0	project. And then for the next three episodes after today, we are going to be digging deeply into
2:08.1	three of the topics that Taylor has studied where he is really exploring and helping, well,
2:15.8	I can only speak for myself, but I think if you listen to us
2:18.5	and read this book, you're going to see that he is going to really complicate in very good ways
