Queer, Non-Believing, and at BYU

Halfway through her time at Brigham Young University, today’s guest Holly Graff began deconstructing her Mormon faith—and also discovered she was bisexual. But with two years left to go, she had to navigate the tricky terrain of staying enrolled at a school that requires religious "worthiness." We talk about the emotional toll of hiding both her beliefs and her sexuality, what it really takes to keep your BYU endorsement, and the current vibe on campus between students, professors, and admin (it might surprise you).

I deconstructed my Mormon faith down to the bone—and then, when my dad died, the deconstruction shit really hit the fan. Now, Girlscamp is steering toward something deeper: finding meaning again. Whether you’re piecing things together after a faith deconstruction, a loss, or a life change, grab a camp chair and join the conversation around the fire. We’ll explore spiritual ideas and philosophies, chat with experts about living ~our best lives~, interview people who’ve rebuilt their beliefs to see where they’ve landed, and share wild stories about the highs, lows, and in-betweens of figuring it all out. All with honesty, heart, and humor—because that's what Girlscamp is all about.
