Below is a series of timelines of LGBT Mormon history consisting of events, publications, and speeches about
gender minorities, and the community of members of Mormonism's largest denomination, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Although the historical record is often scarce, evidence points to queer individuals having existed in the Mormon community since its beginnings, and to leaders being against same-sex sexual behavior and gender non-conformity. LDS leadership started to more regularly address topics regarding the LGBT community in public in the late 1950s.[1][2][3] Since 1970, the LDS Church has had at least one official publication or speech from a high-ranking leader referencing LGBT topics every year, and a greater number of LGBT Mormon and former Mormon
individuals have received media coverage.
The timeline is divided into the following parts for readability, with each part linked below:
