Ben Abbott News

When Proposition 8 was being heavily campaigned for by the Mormon Church, Ben Abbott, a straight devout Mormon with a lot of gay friends due to his involvement with theater came across his own ethical quandary of how to reconcile the two worlds. But then he began to think about the Mormons out there who are also gay and how the beliefs of the church contradict their very selves. So he set out to find his own answers and what has evolved is “Questions of the Heart: Gay Mormons and the Search for Identity”, a one man show where Abbott examines these two seemingly polar opposites in a sensitive and funny way.
