ABC News Studios Presents Docu-Series 'Mormon No More,' Streaming Tuesday, June 24 Only on Hulu

ABC News Programs and Platforms Will Feature Programming Throughout the Month

Throughout June, ABC News will celebrate and honor LGBTQ+ Pride Month with a primetime special, docu-series and dedicated coverage across programs and platforms.

ABC News' "Soul of a Nation" will present a one-hour primetime special, "PRIDE | To Be Seen," documenting the LGBTQ+ experience and examining what it means to be seen in the current moment as a member of the community, airing Thursday, June 9 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

"Mormon No More," an ABC News Studios docu-series, follows two married Mormon moms who fall in love and leave the faith. The series, streaming Friday, June 24 on Hulu, explores how the couple navigates telling their husbands, families, and the church, and what it's like to co-parent their combined seven children with their ex-husbands. Their journey includes other Mormon and ex-Mormon LGBTQ+ allies who wrestle with the church's prohibitive doctrine on same-sex relationships. Their powerful testimonies speak of shame, rejection, and ultimately hope.

Throughout the month, ABC News programs and platforms will present coverage, stories, interviews and features dedicated to LGBTQ+ pride, including the following:
