Mama Dragons

Mama Dragons is a support organization for Mormon and former-Mormon mothers of LGBTQ children. The group has garnered media attention for its advocacy and efforts to prevent LGBT Mormon suicides, as well as for bringing a spotlight to the intersection of religion, family, sexual orientation, and gender expression.[2][3][4] Additionally, a photojournalism project called the Mama Dragons Story Project documenting the stories of parents of Mormon backgrounds with queer children has received media coverage.[5][6][7]
