Welcome to Questions from the Closet. I'm Ben Shalati. And I'm Charlie Bird. Each episode we discuss a question that we commonly get asked as LGBT Q Latter-day Saints.

We are not trying to answer this question or come to a consensus but simply sharing our

perspectives. Today's question is what should my pronouns be?

Charlie and I are not terribly diverse,

and we share many opinions and life experiences.

For example, we both like to dance.

However, there are some pretty big differences.

For example, I prefer a more raunchy hip-hop style and Ben is currently taking a tap class.

Yeah, it's actually really fun.

So one of my good friends has moved back here from New York with her husband and he's in business

school and so he's very busy and she works from home and she's like

bed we have to take a class I'm going to be so bored and she said how about a tap

class I said yes let's take a tap class for taking a six-week tap

class through UVU continuing education and it has been

incredibly fun. I can't wait to not go to your performances. We have zero

performances so your wish is granted. I went to a dirty dancing class once at the Vasa gym and I was really good.

I actually went to that same class like two years ago some of my colleagues from the Social Work Program and

afterwards they're like how do you like it I was like that's a thing that

happened and I felt very uncomfortable yeah anyway we would like to provide a variety of voices and perspectives.

So today we're joined by Marina.

Hello.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Marina.
