Review of On a Mission

I first heard this piece a couple of years back on Outright Radio - loved it then and loved hearing it again. The stories of two gay men brought up in the Mormon faith are told with equal portions of heart and humor - and effectively mixed with music and songs. The opening is cleverly done; I wish the ending was a bit stronger. But this is a refreshingly light take on a deadly serious issue.
