I’m crying so much as I’m watching this. I’m not gay. I’m not Mormon. I’m just a human being who sees HOPE in this world while watching this video. Who sees there’s still so much LOVE in this world. And so many GENUINE people. Pure souls who keep trying to make this world a better place.
I am an ex Mormon born and raised for generations in my family, I have a grown gay son, and choosing my son, leaving my religion was the best most freeing thing I have ever done.
Dude what are you even talking about, first of all she is a mother and not a father, second of all its her life and her son. She is going to choose what is the best for her and her religion, choosing to leave mormon is her choice, and you have no word it in. Who are you even to judge someone on the internet that u don't even know about!? You don't know what someone is going through in their life....so u better stop posting mean and stupid comments. Get a life
Sadly even here we find awful people who’d rather judge then help. It’s awful some people would literally rather have a dead child then a gay or transgendered child! Children are not just extensions of their parents. They have their own lives and their own agency, and if you trust them, they can do amazing things.
I am transgender and the part where Aja speaks to their child about how men can love men, women can love women, some boys want to be girls and some girls want to be boys and how we should support everyone on their journey made me cry. I have been a fan of the Imagine Dragons ever since I heard their music for the first time. But this documentary lifts it on a whole new level.
I love Imagine Dragons and Dan especially, he's so humble and kind. It's so hard to find this documentary anywhere else for free, and I didn't expect to see this full version here! Thank you so much!!
All my respects for Dan, you are such a magnificent being, so brave to speak your truth! I really look up to you. The world would be a better place if there were more like you. We all have to contribute to expand love. Love to you all!!
I agree, this took a lot of guts to stand up for people, and also to fight for the rights of people, Dan you are my hero, you such a beautiful man, keep doing what you doing for the your community and the world, we all love u Dan for the truly beautiful man you are.
I watched this documentary when it was first released. I was a devout Mormon at the time, born and raised, and I remember being a little offended by this. Yet I couldn't deny the facts of how the LDS church has treated the LGBTQ community. Here I am watching it again after having left the church about 6 months ago, and I have a completely different view. My 16 year old daughter came out to me in May 2020, which lead me to delve into what my faith really taught and believed regarding it's LGBTQ members. And what I discovered sent me down a rabbit hole that I'm still falling through and I'm grateful for it. I've lost every last ounce of the testimony I had for the Mormon church and have actually experienced happiness that I never felt while I was in it. I love deeper and am far less judgmental of others. All of my walls and borders that the church had created for me for half of my life, came crumbling down and I've never felt so alive snd free. I would never continue to be a part of a religion that rejected my daughter for who she was born to be. She is perfect and I wouldn't change her or even attempt to. I can't put into words how good it feels to love others with true unconditional love and not feel the burden of having to judge them because of their sexual orientation (all because of what a religion taught was evil). Where I get confused is anyone who is LGBTQ (or has a loved one who is) and wants to convince these old men in the presidency of the church, (who are a product of their time), to change it so they can continue to be a part of it. If you read the full history of this religion (it's not "Anti-Mormon" it's the actual history they've hidden from us) you'd come to know that the issues with the LGBTQ members are just the tip of the iceberg. I say don't walk away from this religion...RUN and never look back! You could actually say they did you a favor in rejecting you...
I agree with what you said, even if the church did change it's stance on gay marriage the fact that it rejected it in the first place is testament that it's not true (and a lot of other things in it's history). And anyone who can escape mormonism should. But the problem is that these old men have so much power and they are the reason for the huge increase in suicide. So even if I think it would be better if the old men didn't have any power at all, I still know that they do have a huge influence on people's lives and that's why I think it's important to try to convince them to change their minds about gay marriage. Even though the church still wouldn't be true, and the harm that's been done is done. The people it's killed are dead. But we can save future lives of gay people raised in the church. I hope I made sense. Have a great day
@Fanfic Fanboy this comment is 6 months old, and you might not see this. But I see what you're going through and it does get better. You will find people who accept and love you for who you are. You are perfect.
I’m an ex-Mormon who had 5 girls. I left the church in 2005. I’m so glad I did because my youngest is a lesbian & it scares the crap out of me to think how things might be if I had stayed in it. She wasn’t born yet but I was pregnant with her when I left that church. This documentary was awesome!! The church needs to change!!!
This is one of the most profound, beautiful and vital documentaries I have ever watched. This is true heroism and bravery. This is the trumpets making the walls fall down. I know Dan Reynolds will pay a deep price for this profound leadership. I hope he can heal from the painful rifts in family and community that come with standing up for what you know is right.
What a beautful human being. He says he's afraid of three things, integrity, faith and crocodile tears, but I think he's good for all three... We need more of this mix of courage and stubborness. Might be a drop in the ocean for now, but you always gotta start somewhere. Thank you Dan for putting your face and strenght to this and to all the people that contributed to the continuation of this amazing project. #loveislove
Man, with this documentary I was able to, one more time, concretize my love for Dan Reynols, Imagine Dragons and everyone that made Love Loud true, in the shape of tears and emotion. Dawn, I love you all so much. Is because of this feeling that Imagine Dragons is my most favorite band of all times.
I just watched the full documentary 3 years later. Simply amazing! So powerful and more people should learn to love unconditionally. Love without frontiers! Great job guys! Loved it!
For everyone. Everyone should recognise LGBTQ people as being part of the society, and not exclude them. I cried a lot, and I just realized how Imagine Dragons is important today.
it means so much to me too because most of my friends are gay and one is my best friend I would be heartbroken if one of them was shamed for something they can't control and yesterday my dad told me to get rid of my anxiety and not have any attacks anymore or else he would punish me for a very long time and send me to my mom (she lives in another state and treats me like I don't exist ) my dad also won't let me see therapy its hurtful to me because I can't control it like my friends but I'm sorry that I talking about my anxiety but it really means a lot that dan is trying to help LGBT it means a lot
This just makes my love for this band grow so much more. When I just came out as a lesbian, I saw Imagine Dragons live for the first time and I cried my eyes out when they gave a speech about equality. I may not be mormon, but seeing how much they care about equality just means so much. I love these guys so much.
I don’t really understand all of Mormon beliefs, but I respect everyone who took a part in this documentary. Dan and Tyler, well done! God bless all of you and love yourself for who you are.
As a straight man in a religious family and I love this video so very much. I am so proud how much work Dan and many others have done to help people many people come together and spread love and true acceptance to everyone. This is why I love Imagine Dragons with all my heart. I'm proud of all you and keep being yourself no matter what anyone tells you.❤
This makes me love Imagine Dragons even more. Massive respect for people trying to change things from the inside. And tons of kudos to Aja for pumping on film!...
Omg I made u guys dinner when u were missionaries I can’t believe this and so proud and happy your amazing I could not have children on our own and u came and ate with us anyways in the Mormon culture that’s a big thing thank u for being awesome ❤️
Does the Mormon culture spurn members who cannot have children?! If so that is so sad and wrong. That is a situation when you need your religion and community most. Much like realizing you are LGBTQ you need their love and support as you acknowledge and celebrate your unique path. In the case of those who can't have biological children they should be supported encouraged and celebrate that their path has been shown to them that they can give of themselves selflessly and adopt. Instead of being treated as an outcast the normalization of our differences should be embraced.
Hey thats cool man ... also u don't need to be blood you can be a mother to the young ones in church or adopt of Foster as some of my friends are members have
I was raised Mormon. I have so many thoughts on this it's hard to put it into words. But seeing a clip of my great grandfather (N Eldon Tanner) it really hits me. When I told my parents in my 20's that I didn't want to attend church and was going to move out and live with a coworker who was gay my parents were appalled. My great grandfather had passed so I had to write a letter to his daughter, my grandmother to tell her how and why I was choosing to disgrace everything her father had stood for. How I was tarnishing the family name. It was heartbreaking. I hated that I couldn't be someone who thought having the odd drink was ok, or supporting the LGBTQ+ community was important, and still be a good person in their eyes. Slowly, the way that my family and the church treated me for having these views pushed me further and further away. I still consider myself a Christian but I cannot call myself Mormon and feel good about it. I've had so much guilt and depression for making the choices I do because of my upbringing and even now at almost 40 its hard to love myself for trying to support the things that for the first half of my life I was taught were so wrong. But I can't not support these beautiful and loving people who deserve to be loved and not exiled for being themselves..
Powerful! This is so well made and incredibly true and educational! Love both neon trees and imagine dragons, and this puts so much more power into their music!!! Thank Dan, Tyler, and everybody else for staying strong! Change must happen!!! Thank you Loveloud!
Vi o documentário legendado na minha língua. Ainda bem que existem pessoas que acreditam que a humanidade pode ser melhor. Podemos sempre melhorar e para isso temos de amar as pessoas. Todos somos iguais e criados da mesma forma. Se Deus é amor todos fazemos parte desse amor. Enquanto a humanidade não enteder que ninguém é melhor que ninguém haverá sempre sofrimento. Chorei imenso a ver todo o documentário mas ele me fez acreditar que ainda há esperança. São homens como o Dan e mulheres como a Aja que nos inspiram. Que a força do amor vença sempre!
As a transgender and pansexual Exmormon, this was incredibly powerful for me. It made me have a deeper connection with Dan Reynolds when I learned his stance and his past with Mormonism. Thank you so much for your love and acceptance for my community. I hope to attend this festival someday!
As a gay man growing up in the Northeast of the U.S., it’s not easy. Shame, suffering, hiding who I was. Depression anxiety, substance abuse, etc. Thsts the Northeast where it’s relatively easier than other parts of the world. I can’t imagine what the Mormons of Utah are going through. I’m so sorry that you feel alone. I’m so sorry that you hide who you are. Please know it gets better. Don’t give up. If you must, move to a metropolitan area. Freedom does exist for the gay community now on our country. NYC is wonderful, but so are many other cities here. With open arms we welcome you.
There are many kids suffering out there with depression, anxiety and being gay. It’s so heartbreaking to know they feel alone and feel that suicide is the only way. We need more people like Dan out there that reach and connect with these kids at least at a musical level. I appreciate people like Dan.
I heard Tyler Glenn’s on Mormon Stories and it hit me hard. I was at work just crying and feeling his pain. I resigned from the church , which means getting your name off the rolls, not an easy task. Being raised a Mormon marrying in the temple and your entire family , friends and community life centered around the church, it’s painful to be oust. Most people that are gay growing up in the church love it so much and it kills them not to be able to be a part of it. LoveLOUD♥️♥️!
So interesting you phrased it that way. We were raised LDS & I just forwarded this to my 2 gay siblings & said: “This really hit me hard”. Exactly, my friend. Exactly. So powerful.
Thank you! From a parent of a bi-sexual trans child, thank you! I have witnessed the tearing apart of my youth's spirit for simply being who they were born to be. Thank you for creating a platform for discussion and inclusion.
It's the hardest most heart wrenching thing to watch these beautiful humans grieve for their lost loved ones!! I know that grief much too well as I've lost all 3 of my siblings to horrific events. My heart goes out to u all and thanks so many bunches Dan for caring when others turned their backs,, I love u Soldier Brother!!
Thank you for putting yourself out there for your fellow human, Dan! I am sixty and thrilled to see what is obviously an incredible calling! Hope to enjoy you to my last breath...and I haven't heard a bad song from you, sir! Thank you for the music and your humanity!
I'm so late here which I'm sad about. But.... DAN REYNOLDS YOU'RE AN AMAZING PERSON! I'm active LDS and have really tried to be an ally in the church but you have such an important voice and I know you're really making a big impact on church culture. I pray for the day that the LDS church doesn't withhold affection and love to people NO MATTER WHAT. I'm raising my young daughter to not be afraid of homosexuality and if she ends up being homosexual herself, I will love her and give her all the support they need.
Just found the Full Doccie ! Here is the Full Documentary, BELIEVER, which I happen to have caught on DSTV last night (Sundance channel 108) & which drew me in & touched my Soul ! Dan Reynold, your wife & all those who supported the Crusade & great cause, I salute you ! You are a giant amongst people ! You are so important to those whom you lift up, above their insecurities & the slander of others who are so ill informed. The world needs more people with empathy & less ostracisers, in this Life. This Doccie BLEW ME AWAY ! It touched my heart & sense of empathy.... And reminded me of the fact that, "Not everyone who may be different is necessarily bad". No one is the only way to be. We are not right all of the time, nor perfect, BUT we all have something to contribute, IF we realise it. This guy, Dan Reynolds, a devout, practicing, Mormon & leader of the band Imagine Dragons realised that ostracising people because of the way they ARE is not the right thing to do. Especially in an environment which preaches the "Love of God" ! Casting them into a void, where the 'only way out' is to commit suicide. Dan, his wife & other sane minded people go together to pick up the Crusade to change this mind set.... Watch how it unfolds.. Go on, Be Brave & watch before you demonise.... Isn't that how any subject needs to be approached, i order to make an informed decision ? You Bet !
Você é o incrível. Nasci e cresci dentro da religião mórmon. Passei por alguns constrangimentos com relação a alguns líderes. E ver você fazendo a diferença dentro da igreja. Me deixa muito feliz. E me faz sentir aceito. Obrigado.
Well i live in Greece and i am atheist but the majority of greek people are Cristian Orthodox and must of them are also against gay relationship and all the things that come with it i feel sorry for LGBTQ members but i want everyone around the world to know ether if you are gay, straight , male or female that there are people that care and willing to help you, you are not alone tern your back to the ones that hurt you so you can see the ones that love you and want to help
God loves everyone and so should we. If you are trying to build your flock in any church then a no judgment zone is God"s way. We all put our pants on the same way. This documentary is beautiful and I pray we all open our hearts and souls to how we are born into this world without persecution or judgment.
Hey guys, I’d like to translate this to Polish. I don’t know, if you’re aware of the situation in Poland atm. This is such a powerful message, just what Polish people need!
Always inspired by your new attempts.. you are fighting a greater war and we are yet to understand what's worth fighting for.. thankyou for reminding us constantly
I was a Norman. I had to walk away because I couldn’t deal with the confusion I felt from real life and the doctrines. I had 5 children and was trying to raise them Morgan but the conflict was to great. My husband of 14 years converted for me because we were 17 and 16 and pregnant so I wouldn’t be excommunicated from the church. This was wrong and now I see it. I believe I and a good person even though our marriage couldn’t make it. Yes we were sealed in the temple but that didn’t make any difference to either of us. Such hypocrisy in the church. I am now on my 3rd marriage and it is wonderful. Spiritually without churchinanity. I love you for having the faith and the strength to help LGBTQ IN THE CHURCH AND OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH. Pure love of humans is what I see you share. Thank God for you and your strength,
I was raised by a very, very strict Catholic family who believed just as the Mormons that same sex relationship were wrong. I have met many people in my almost 64 years of life who are in the type of relationship I was supposed to believe was wrong. They are the most amazing, brave, and wonderful people I have ever met. I love each and every one of you just as you are. I believe that God loves you. He made you and are they trying to say that God doesn't know what he is doing? You are perfect just the way you are. Be proud of who you are. If you ever need someone to talk to who will not judge you and will love you, I am here. Dan thank you so very much for being brave enough to tell the world that things need to change. Every life is special and one life lost is one too many.
I really would like to email Dan and speak to him more on this subject. I have so many thoughts and questions on heaven and hell and sinning. I lost a dear one to suicide a few years ago and I have been conflicted since.
I'm no longer willing to believe in a God that doesn't love us all the same or that would send any of his children that were their best self to any type of hell. Try our best and we're good. I really think it's that simple. I'm so, so sorry about your friend. 💓💓💓
The book "embraced by the light" by Betty J Eadie always helped me through any crisis in life. She relates her near death experience during which she talked to Jesus and she answers SO MANY of lifes toughest questions. She has another book in which she answers questions from readers. Whenever life doesn't make sense anymore I re-read her books and I can handle whatever is in front of me again. I hope this helps. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you Dan for listening to the emails from your 🏳️🌈Mormon fans. You’ve definitely saved lives. Wish my 🏳️🌈Mormon kid brother was still around to hear your music and message. RIP: Michael David Welch Played 12 instruments, self taught. Died at 21 by his own hand from the teachings of the Mormon church. 1981-2003
What a beautiful soul you are Dan. Im really equally impressed with your best friend. Im glad, even though you two might not be married anymore, that you are raising some wonderful human beings
Imagine a community that lifts up ALL of their children and accepts them for who they are? Imagine being that child hearing the message of love, inclusiveness and acceptance from parents and church leaders? Imagine living fearlessly and speaking your heart’s truth?
Had no clue this was uploaded to TH-cam that's awesome. I remember watching a few months after comming out. Went to loveloud just a few weeks after and it saved my life it made me feel like I wasent broken.
Thank you, Dan, for being the voice for the LGBT community and the few of us who are straight and also Mormons. I remember I was very upset when the Church announced the 2015 policy. I didn’t know anyone personally who was gay or lesbian but I just didn’t feel that was right. Except to my husband, I didn’t dare to tell anyone about my disappointment and disapproval of the church’s policy. I believe what you did has helped brought about the reversed of this policy earlier this year. Thank you!
@@jonycruz2430 the Mormon god changed his mind and decided not to excommunicate gays. I was excommunicated during this witch hunt because I’m married to a woman.
@@katbos4995 I think the foundation is more based in the christian faith and the apostles from the 1st century church. Apostle Paul taught this. It’s part of the christian faith
Dan, you are a special person. Thank you for standing up for those that don't think they have a voice or feel they can not live their truth. I believe that God loves all and that all are equal in his eyes.
I always thought we as society are stuck in the past about these issues... but after seeing this documentary I feel excited about the future. It's up to us to make it happen, all it takes is practicing love and support every day, now more than ever before, cuz other generations couldn't, but we can.
I was raised a very devout, ask no questions Mormon. I never had any thoughts as to changing the Mormon religion. What I did believe is that my voice, my solitary, opinion, would somehow make a difference.
All my respect and all my love to Dan and his wonderful wife Aja! And to all the lovely people who participated in this very interesting, very touching, truly BEAUTIFUL documentary! Many thanks for the upload!
Dan Reynolds is more than a man and is more than a lead singer to a band He's a hero. He's a hero to his church race. I am a catholic and he didn't do mine but what he did for his changed probably more than his own. He not only did change the way his church saw the love of sexes. change of suicides. Change Of kids dying from cancer. He changed alot of things. When I turn on the radio and I heard him sing it made me feel good. I was a person like others with depression. He changed my insights of that I came back to normality. I'm glad of what he did. "Dan Reynolds is a hero to all and to me." I want nothing he did to become undone. When he dies he shouldn't just be remembered for being a singer he should be remembered for what he did for us. In future to reynolds when he dies Rest in peace and to now Live on and continue making to make the world the best better place to live.
HEY YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!! HE IS A PROOF THAT HUMANITY STILL EXISTS AND YEAH HE'S A HERO TO ME TO IT'S JUST BEEN LIKE 3 MONTHS SINCE I FOUND HIM AND ID AND NOW I'M HIS GREAT AIR-CONDITIONER.LOL.BUT I'M NOT KIDDING HE'S GREAT AND HE'S AMAZING HE MADE ME A PERFECT HUMAN WHO'S STRAIGHT BUT NEVER JUDGE ANYONE RESPECTS AND LOVES EVERYONE AS WHO THEY ARE! IT'S ALL BCUZ OF DAN I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A GOOD HUMAN AND HE SHOWED ME HOW!!
This is such a powerful Documentary made by the lead singer of Imagine Dragons. And a festival that I have to see someday. I hope that someone will be as deeply impacted by documentaries like this and more as I have. One day, whatever I may identify as, I hope to change the world like Dan Reynolds has. ☺😊
St. Peter was at Heavens Gates. A Muslim comes up to Peter and Peter tell him to go down the hall to door # 5, but please be quiet while passing by door #3. A Jew comes up to Peter and Peter tells her to go down to door #8, but please be quiet while passing by door # 3. A Hindu comes up to Peter and Peter tells him to go down to door #6, but please be quiet while passing by door # 3, the Hindu asks Peter what's behind door # 3, I've seen you tell everyone to be very quiet while passing that door? St. Peter responds: That's where Christians go to and they believe that they are the only ones that are allowed into Heaven.
@Anthony Reynods Thanks for uploading. Would you be so kind to turn on the subtitle. My english is too bad and would like to set it in the subtitle on my language. Thank you so much.
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT DOC, IT TAUGHT ME ABOUT THIS SUBJECT AND KNOW AND LOVE THE GAY LES, MY GRANDSON CAME OUT THIS YR. I AM SO PROUD OF HIM I COULD SCREAM, HE IS DOING SOMETHING HE HAS ALWAYS WANT TO DO, GO TO NY AND GO TO SCHOOL AND BECOME A ACTOR, AM PROUD OF HIM, U CAN BE AND THING U WANT TO BE DOSENT MATTER IF U ARE GAY OR NOT , LOVE U ALL LOVE THE DOC, GOD BLESS U ALL
I clicked on this because I thought it was a documentary on the single Believer, and now I can't stop watching because it's so interesting and moving. Watching those people living both as believers and as LGBT members or allies hits hard. As an atheist I can't really relate but I respect and empathize with all my heart.
I respect that he wants to fix and change negative views...& not just give up and walk away or abandon his religion..what a way for God to bring his wife into his life..for so many things his children and career but also his activism...
I was so close to joining the Mormon church because I agreed with many of their beliefs. I chose not to because women can't obtain the preisthood. People may not believe me but I have even seen a pillar of light back in July of 2011. I also had an amazing dream about the Liahona before I read about it. I know God is working in this man's life.
Hi Dan, Loved watching this documentary! I cried like a baby during certain parts of the documentary! Thank you thank you thank you for all that you are doing and supporting the people that need it! All religions need to open their eyes and minds regarding LGBTQ community and other related communities. People need to feel the love and respect no matter what their sexual orientation is! Keep up the excellent work and I have all the respect and love for you! Take care
this is so awesome, being a mormon and also a massive supporter of the LGBTQ+ community is a confliction regarding my faith for me. I am disappointed by the Church's stance on the subject and their basic refusal to talk about it. I only hope they will become more open and have a more temporal view on the subject. Either way, I believe your relationship with Heavenly Father is what matters the most as opposed to what they determine is a sin.
It’s very difficult for the human mind to realize it’s been duped. If you’re open to the possibility that you could be wrong, you can start there. Good luck, my friend.
I just shared this on my fb, I’m waiting for the shunning to begin ...Once my comments here are read I will start to loose people again...I have all the people I need now, so it’s ok.
I’m crying so much as I’m watching this. I’m not gay. I’m not Mormon. I’m just a human being who sees HOPE in this world while watching this video. Who sees there’s still so much LOVE in this world. And so many GENUINE people. Pure souls who keep trying to make this world a better place.
I am an ex Mormon born and raised for generations in my family, I have a grown gay son, and choosing my son, leaving my religion was the best most freeing thing I have ever done.
You chose to serve the world and use your son as an excuse. He should be ashamed of his choices and you, of failing as a father.
Dude what are you even talking about, first of all she is a mother and not a father, second of all its her life and her son. She is going to choose what is the best for her and her religion, choosing to leave mormon is her choice, and you have no word it in. Who are you even to judge someone on the internet that u don't even know about!? You don't know what someone is going through in their life....so u better stop posting mean and stupid comments. Get a life
Sadly even here we find awful people who’d rather judge then help. It’s awful some people would literally rather have a dead child then a gay or transgendered child!
Children are not just extensions of their parents. They have their own lives and their own agency, and if you trust them, they can do amazing things.
@@laurids2007 thanks for reminding me of why I am an atheist

I’m an ex-Mormon who had 5 girls. I left the church in 2005. I’m so glad I did because my youngest is a lesbian & it scares the crap out of me to think how things might be if I had stayed in it. She wasn’t born yet but I was pregnant with her when I left that church. This documentary was awesome!! The church needs to change!!!
This is one of the most profound, beautiful and vital documentaries I have ever watched. This is true heroism and bravery. This is the trumpets making the walls fall down. I know Dan Reynolds will pay a deep price for this profound leadership. I hope he can heal from the painful rifts in family and community that come with standing up for what you know is right.
Yes yes yes, thank you for uploading for everyone to have access to see 🤗
What a beautful human being. He says he's afraid of three things, integrity, faith and crocodile tears, but I think he's good for all three... We need more of this mix of courage and stubborness. Might be a drop in the ocean for now, but you always gotta start somewhere. Thank you Dan for putting your face and strenght to this and to all the people that contributed to the continuation of this amazing project. #loveislove
honestly speaking , i searched for this , im huge fan of imagine dragons ... and now my respect towards the band is so high after i watch this
Man, with this documentary I was able to, one more time, concretize my love for Dan Reynols, Imagine Dragons and everyone that made Love Loud true, in the shape of tears and emotion. Dawn, I love you all so much. Is because of this feeling that Imagine Dragons is my most favorite band of all times.
I just watched the full documentary 3 years later. Simply amazing! So powerful and more people should learn to love unconditionally. Love without frontiers! Great job guys! Loved it!
I'm not gay but this means so much to me💖
❤🧡💛💚💙 us too!
For everyone. Everyone should recognise LGBTQ people as being part of the society, and not exclude them. I cried a lot, and I just realized how Imagine Dragons is important today.
same!!!!
it means so much to me too because most of my friends are gay and one is my best friend I would be heartbroken if one of them was shamed for something they can't control and yesterday my dad told me to get rid of my anxiety and not have any attacks anymore or else he would punish me for a very long time and send me to my mom (she lives in another state and treats me like I don't exist ) my dad also won't let me see therapy its hurtful to me because I can't control it like my friends but I'm sorry that I talking about my anxiety but it really means a lot that dan is trying to help LGBT it means a lot
I hate gay sorry
i love how Aja is talking to Arrow about these things. it makess me so happy!
This just makes my love for this band grow so much more. When I just came out as a lesbian, I saw Imagine Dragons live for the first time and I cried my eyes out when they gave a speech about equality. I may not be mormon, but seeing how much they care about equality just means so much. I love these guys so much.
I don’t really understand all of Mormon beliefs, but I respect everyone who took a part in this documentary. Dan and Tyler, well done! God bless all of you and love yourself for who you are.
i’m not a mormon, but i’m the b in lgbt.
this documentary means so much to me, thank you.
As a straight man in a religious family and I love this video so very much. I am so proud how much work Dan and many others have done to help people many people come together and spread love and true acceptance to everyone. This is why I love Imagine Dragons with all my heart. I'm proud of all you and keep being yourself no matter what anyone tells you.❤
The fact that his phone was at 2 % during such a deep conversation made me nervous 27:55
I thought I was the only one that noticed too!! 😂
Me too😳
This makes me love Imagine Dragons even more. Massive respect for people trying to change things from the inside. And tons of kudos to Aja for pumping on film!...
Omg I made u guys dinner when u were missionaries I can’t believe this and so proud and happy your amazing I could not have children on our own and u came and ate with us anyways in the Mormon culture that’s a big thing thank u for being awesome ❤️
Did you really? That is amazing
Does the Mormon culture spurn members who cannot have children?! If so that is so sad and wrong. That is a situation when you need your religion and community most. Much like realizing you are LGBTQ you need their love and support as you acknowledge and celebrate your unique path. In the case of those who can't have biological children they should be supported encouraged and celebrate that their path has been shown to them that they can give of themselves selflessly and adopt. Instead of being treated as an outcast the normalization of our differences should be embraced.
Hey thats cool man ... also u don't need to be blood you can be a mother to the young ones in church or adopt of Foster as some of my friends are members have
I was raised Mormon. I have so many thoughts on this it's hard to put it into words. But seeing a clip of my great grandfather (N Eldon Tanner) it really hits me. When I told my parents in my 20's that I didn't want to attend church and was going to move out and live with a coworker who was gay my parents were appalled. My great grandfather had passed so I had to write a letter to his daughter, my grandmother to tell her how and why I was choosing to disgrace everything her father had stood for. How I was tarnishing the family name. It was heartbreaking. I hated that I couldn't be someone who thought having the odd drink was ok, or supporting the LGBTQ+ community was important, and still be a good person in their eyes. Slowly, the way that my family and the church treated me for having these views pushed me further and further away. I still consider myself a Christian but I cannot call myself Mormon and feel good about it. I've had so much guilt and depression for making the choices I do because of my upbringing and even now at almost 40 its hard to love myself for trying to support the things that for the first half of my life I was taught were so wrong. But I can't not support these beautiful and loving people who deserve to be loved and not exiled for being themselves..
Powerful! This is so well made and incredibly true and educational! Love both neon trees and imagine dragons, and this puts so much more power into their music!!! Thank Dan, Tyler, and everybody else for staying strong! Change must happen!!! Thank you Loveloud!
Vi o documentário legendado na minha língua. Ainda bem que existem pessoas que acreditam que a humanidade pode ser melhor. Podemos sempre melhorar e para isso temos de amar as pessoas. Todos somos iguais e criados da mesma forma. Se Deus é amor todos fazemos parte desse amor. Enquanto a humanidade não enteder que ninguém é melhor que ninguém haverá sempre sofrimento. Chorei imenso a ver todo o documentário mas ele me fez acreditar que ainda há esperança. São homens como o Dan e mulheres como a Aja que nos inspiram. Que a força do amor vença sempre!
Amém
As a transgender and pansexual Exmormon, this was incredibly powerful for me. It made me have a deeper connection with Dan Reynolds when I learned his stance and his past with Mormonism. Thank you so much for your love and acceptance for my community. I hope to attend this festival someday!
As a gay man growing up in the Northeast of the U.S., it’s not easy. Shame, suffering, hiding who I was. Depression anxiety, substance abuse, etc. Thsts the Northeast where it’s relatively easier than other parts of the world. I can’t imagine what the Mormons of Utah are going through. I’m so sorry that you feel alone. I’m so sorry that you hide who you are. Please know it gets better. Don’t give up. If you must, move to a metropolitan area. Freedom does exist for the gay community now on our country. NYC is wonderful, but so are many other cities here. With open arms we welcome you.
the amount of times i cried to this documentary is unreal, i knew 2012 me was in the correct direction when she decided to stan imagine dragons.
I’m considered a burly Southern man & I did too. It’s actually very cathartic.
There are many kids suffering out there with depression, anxiety and being gay. It’s so heartbreaking to know they feel alone and feel that suicide is the only way. We need more people like Dan out there that reach and connect with these kids at least at a musical level. I appreciate people like Dan.
I heard Tyler Glenn’s on Mormon Stories and it hit me hard. I was at work just crying and feeling his pain. I resigned from the church , which means getting your name off the rolls, not an easy task. Being raised a Mormon marrying in the temple and your entire family , friends and community life centered around the church, it’s painful to be oust. Most people that are gay growing up in the church love it so much and it kills them not to be able to be a part of it. LoveLOUD♥️♥️!
I cried too. He is such a good speaker. He did a TED talk too that is great.
So interesting you phrased it that way. We were raised LDS & I just forwarded this to my 2 gay siblings & said: “This really hit me hard”.
Exactly, my friend. Exactly. So powerful.
Thank you! From a parent of a bi-sexual trans child, thank you! I have witnessed the tearing apart of my youth's spirit for simply being who they were born to be. Thank you for creating a platform for discussion and inclusion.
It's the hardest most heart wrenching thing to watch these beautiful humans grieve for their lost loved ones!! I know that grief much too well as I've lost all 3 of my siblings to horrific events. My heart goes out to u all and thanks so many bunches Dan for caring when others turned their backs,, I love u Soldier Brother!!
Mormons are hard to understand. People who think they know the mind of God are scary. Yay for Dan for dreaming big!
Thank you for putting yourself out there for your fellow human, Dan! I am sixty and thrilled to see what is obviously an incredible calling! Hope to enjoy you to my last breath...and I haven't heard a bad song from you, sir! Thank you for the music and your humanity!
I'm so late here which I'm sad about. But.... DAN REYNOLDS YOU'RE AN AMAZING PERSON! I'm active LDS and have really tried to be an ally in the church but you have such an important voice and I know you're really making a big impact on church culture. I pray for the day that the LDS church doesn't withhold affection and love to people NO MATTER WHAT. I'm raising my young daughter to not be afraid of homosexuality and if she ends up being homosexual herself, I will love her and give her all the support they need.
Thank you loveloud, imagine dragons, Dan Reynolds and eveyone who's behind the project :) Youre an inspiration :)
Just found the Full Doccie !
Here is the Full Documentary, BELIEVER, which I happen to have caught on DSTV last night (Sundance channel 108) & which drew me in & touched my Soul !
Dan Reynold, your wife & all those who supported the Crusade & great cause, I salute you ! You are a giant amongst people ! You are so important to those whom you lift up, above their insecurities & the slander of others who are so ill informed.
The world needs more people with empathy & less ostracisers, in this Life.
This Doccie BLEW ME AWAY !
It touched my heart & sense of empathy.... And reminded me of the fact that, "Not everyone who may be different is necessarily bad". No one is the only way to be.
We are not right all of the time, nor perfect, BUT we all have something to contribute, IF we realise it.
This guy, Dan Reynolds, a devout, practicing, Mormon & leader of the band Imagine Dragons realised that ostracising people because of the way they ARE is not the right thing to do. Especially in an environment which preaches the "Love of God" ! Casting them into a void, where the 'only way out' is to commit suicide.
Dan, his wife & other sane minded people go together to pick up the Crusade to change this mind set....
Watch how it unfolds.. Go on, Be Brave & watch before you demonise.... Isn't that how any subject needs to be approached, i order to make an informed decision ? You Bet !
Who in their right mind gives this a thumbs down?? So proud of Dan and all the positive change that he is making in this world.❤
I love their music, I love what they stand for. Keep Going. The love you are receiving from us all is LOUD!!! Thank you.
Você é o incrível. Nasci e cresci dentro da religião mórmon. Passei por alguns constrangimentos com relação a alguns líderes. E ver você fazendo a diferença dentro da igreja. Me deixa muito feliz. E me faz sentir aceito. Obrigado.
Finally I can see this documentary in Sweden! Has been impossible without an american creditcard in combo with a VPN. Thank you!
Me too! I'm watching this documentary in Sweden as well!
Well i live in Greece and i am atheist but the majority of greek people are Cristian Orthodox and must of them are also against gay relationship and all the things that come with it i feel sorry for LGBTQ members but i want everyone around the world to know ether if you are gay, straight , male or female that there are people that care and willing to help you, you are not alone tern your back to the ones that hurt you so you can see the ones that love you and want to help
Agree. Peace and love from Malaysia, my dude 🇲🇾✌
This is incredible. Thank you guys for your fight to help make changes. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜💗
God loves everyone and so should we. If you are trying to build your flock in any church then a no judgment zone is God"s way. We all put our pants on the same way. This documentary is beautiful and I pray we all open our hearts and souls to how we are born into this world without persecution or judgment.
Hey guys, I’d like to translate this to Polish. I don’t know, if you’re aware of the situation in Poland atm. This is such a powerful message, just what Polish people need!
This completely melts my heart! Thank you for uploading this...we can't stop until thier is change! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Omg, why haven’t I seen this before! Heartbreaking, beautiful, yet genuinely uplifting. Bravo! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for uploading.... Waiting since one year to watch it 😍
this is why i love dan and imagine dragons. they do so much for people and no words can describe how happy I am to be a fan of them.
Always inspired by your new attempts.. you are fighting a greater war and we are yet to understand what's worth fighting for.. thankyou for reminding us constantly
I was a Norman. I had to walk away because I couldn’t deal with the confusion I felt from real life and the doctrines. I had 5 children and was trying to raise them Morgan but the conflict was to great. My husband of 14 years converted for me because we were 17 and 16 and pregnant so I wouldn’t be excommunicated from the church. This was wrong and now I see it. I believe I and a good person even though our marriage couldn’t make it. Yes we were sealed in the temple but that didn’t make any difference to either of us. Such hypocrisy in the church. I am now on my 3rd marriage and it is wonderful. Spiritually without churchinanity. I love you for having the faith and the strength to help LGBTQ IN THE CHURCH AND OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH. Pure love of humans is what I see you share. Thank God for you and your strength,
I was raised by a very, very strict Catholic family who believed just as the Mormons that same sex relationship were wrong. I have met many people in my almost 64 years of life who are in the type of relationship I was supposed to believe was wrong. They are the most amazing, brave, and wonderful people I have ever met. I love each and every one of you just as you are. I believe that God loves you. He made you and are they trying to say that God doesn't know what he is doing? You are perfect just the way you are. Be proud of who you are. If you ever need someone to talk to who will not judge you and will love you, I am here. Dan thank you so very much for being brave enough to tell the world that things need to change. Every life is special and one life lost is one too many.
I really would like to email Dan and speak to him more on this subject. I have so many thoughts and questions on heaven and hell and sinning. I lost a dear one to suicide a few years ago and I have been conflicted since.
I'm no longer willing to believe in a God that doesn't love us all the same or that would send any of his children that were their best self to any type of hell. Try our best and we're good. I really think it's that simple. I'm so, so sorry about your friend. 💓💓💓
The book "embraced by the light" by Betty J Eadie always helped me through any crisis in life. She relates her near death experience during which she talked to Jesus and she answers SO MANY of lifes toughest questions. She has another book in which she answers questions from readers. Whenever life doesn't make sense anymore I re-read her books and I can handle whatever is in front of me again. I hope this helps. I'm so sorry for your loss.
😢❤ I love Imagine Dragons for all that they stand and fight for ! Excellent music with a meaningful purpose
Thank you Dan for listening to the emails from your 🏳️🌈Mormon fans. You’ve definitely saved lives.
Wish my 🏳️🌈Mormon kid brother was still around to hear your music and message.
RIP: Michael David Welch
Played 12 instruments, self taught.
Died at 21 by his own hand from the teachings of the Mormon church.
1981-2003
😥
Micheal David Welch. I’ll remember his name. Thank you. I am so sorry I never got to hear him play.
Thanks so very much for sharing this!!!!!!!!!! I really can't tell you how wonderful it is, so that anyone can see this awesome message for free!!!!!
What a beautiful soul you are Dan. Im really equally impressed with your best friend. Im glad, even though you two might not be married anymore, that you are raising some wonderful human beings
BRAVO, BELIEVER! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
amo
Imagine a community that lifts up ALL of their children and accepts them for who they are? Imagine being that child hearing the message of love, inclusiveness and acceptance from parents and church leaders? Imagine living fearlessly and speaking your heart’s truth?
Had no clue this was uploaded to TH-cam that's awesome. I remember watching a few months after comming out. Went to loveloud just a few weeks after and it saved my life it made me feel like I wasent broken.
Thank you, Dan, for being the voice for the LGBT community and the few of us who are straight and also Mormons. I remember I was very upset when the Church announced the 2015 policy. I didn’t know anyone personally who was gay or lesbian but I just didn’t feel that was right. Except to my husband, I didn’t dare to tell anyone about my disappointment and disapproval of the church’s policy. I believe what you did has helped brought about the reversed of this policy earlier this year. Thank you!
I’m sorry what policy was reversed? Sorry I’m ignorant about this.
Lgbtq
@@michugrais4675 Yes, thank you. LGBTQ+
@@jonycruz2430 the Mormon god changed his mind and decided not to excommunicate gays.
I was excommunicated during this witch hunt because I’m married to a woman.
@@katbos4995 I think the foundation is more based in the christian faith and the apostles from the 1st century church. Apostle Paul taught this. It’s part of the christian faith
Dan, you are a special person. Thank you for standing up for those that don't think they have a voice or feel they can not live their truth. I believe that God loves all and that all are equal in his eyes.
29:23
I was like, wow that's so deep. Probably my favorite part.
Did you put bologna in this?
I always thought we as society are stuck in the past about these issues... but after seeing this documentary I feel excited about the future. It's up to us to make it happen, all it takes is practicing love and support every day, now more than ever before, cuz other generations couldn't, but we can.
you are a blessing for posting this since I don't have HBO max ever since this documentary first came out
I was raised a very devout, ask no questions Mormon. I never had any thoughts as to changing the Mormon religion. What I did believe is that my voice, my solitary, opinion, would somehow make a difference.
All my respect and all my love to Dan and his wonderful wife Aja! And to all the lovely people who participated in this very interesting, very touching, truly BEAUTIFUL documentary!
Many thanks for the upload!
Hi Dan I'm really proud of what you done you really given great hope to everyone who felt alone and abadanded love you for your passion god bless you
People are all the same no matter what, people should love others the way they are and accept it good job dan for changing some minds
The more I know behind the band, the more I fell in love with imagine dragons ❤️
Dan Reynolds is more than a man and is more than a lead singer to a band He's a hero. He's a hero to his church race. I am a catholic and he didn't do mine but what he did for his changed probably more than his own. He not only did change the way his church saw the love of sexes. change of suicides. Change Of kids dying from cancer. He changed alot of things. When I turn on the radio and I heard him sing it made me feel good. I was a person like others with depression. He changed my insights of that I came back to normality. I'm glad of what he did.
"Dan Reynolds is a hero to all and to me."
I want nothing he did to become undone.
When he dies he shouldn't just be remembered for being a singer he should be remembered for what he did for us.
In future to reynolds when he dies Rest in peace and to now Live on and continue making to make the world the best better place to live.
HEY YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!!
HE IS A PROOF THAT HUMANITY STILL EXISTS AND YEAH HE'S A HERO TO ME TO
IT'S JUST BEEN LIKE 3 MONTHS SINCE I FOUND HIM AND ID AND NOW I'M HIS GREAT AIR-CONDITIONER.LOL.BUT I'M NOT KIDDING HE'S GREAT AND HE'S AMAZING
HE MADE ME A PERFECT HUMAN WHO'S STRAIGHT BUT NEVER JUDGE ANYONE RESPECTS AND LOVES EVERYONE AS WHO THEY ARE!
IT'S ALL BCUZ OF DAN I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A GOOD HUMAN AND HE SHOWED ME HOW!!
This is such a powerful Documentary made by the lead singer of Imagine Dragons. And a festival that I have to see someday. I hope that someone will be as deeply impacted by documentaries like this and more as I have. One day, whatever I may identify as, I hope to change the world like Dan Reynolds has. ☺😊
Thank you for putting this film together! very inspired. I believe your stage had a hand in the reversal of the policy
I am a straight fighter for gay rights, this video is incredible. I LOVE YOU DAN! Cannot wait to see Imagine Dragons in Cape Town next year!
St. Peter was at Heavens Gates.
A Muslim comes up to Peter and Peter tell him to go down the hall to door # 5, but please be quiet while passing by door #3.
A Jew comes up to Peter and Peter tells her to go down to door #8, but please be quiet while passing by door # 3.
A Hindu comes up to Peter and Peter tells him to go down to door #6, but please be quiet while passing by door # 3, the Hindu asks Peter
what's behind door # 3, I've seen you tell everyone to be very quiet while passing that door?
St. Peter responds: That's where Christians go to and they believe that they are the only ones that are allowed into Heaven.
Oohh wow. That was amazing. I can finally dry my eyes now. Heart-breaking with a hint of hope 💞💞
Does anyone know a way to send an email to Dan. I don't have instagram, I just want to tell him how his music changed my life.
most of us want to :)
Ikr what is his fan mail account?
@Anthony Reynods Thanks for uploading. Would you be so kind to turn on the subtitle. My english is too bad and would like to set it in the subtitle on my language. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you. Beautifully done. Till we don’t need these kinds of events anymore. 🌈
Thank you for making this available on TH-cam.
Also, I just have to say, Aja seems like such an awesome person, love her!
Dan, Imagine Dragons, please come to South Africa and spread your love, music and give everyone a fighting chance
"No matter what the world says about who you are, what you believe...Still do it. 100%"
Brilliant, simply brilliant, keep knocking that door Dan! 😍
Thank YOU for uploading this documentary. ❤❤️
You are awesome!! Much love Dan!!
I clicked on this because I thought it was a documentary on the single Believer, and now I can't stop watching because it's so interesting and moving. Watching those people living both as believers and as LGBT members or allies hits hard. As an atheist I can't really relate but I respect and empathize with all my heart.
The movie was awesome, so pure. I was in tears half the time watching it
Wow the film changed me. I'm a different person now. Everybody deserves love!
Love is love💕
wow goosebumps!! love from sweden!!!
Amazing documentary...great job Dan, thanks ❤
You have such a big heart Daniel Reynolds. And wow I had no idea Aja was such a gifted artist. I loved her music and singing.
Thanks a lot for this video. I don't know how much i cried watching this video. I guess this video might make me a better person!
I respect that he wants to fix and change negative views...& not just give up and walk away or abandon his religion..what a way for God to bring his wife into his life..for so many things his children and career but also his activism...
Por favor podrían colocar subtítulos Español por favor .se los ruego
I was so close to joining the Mormon church because I agreed with many of their beliefs. I chose not to because women can't obtain the preisthood. People may not believe me but I have even seen a pillar of light back in July of 2011. I also had an amazing dream about the Liahona before I read about it. I know God is working in this man's life.
Nice to see this documantairy! I'm fan of Imagine Dragons. Love from the Netherlands!❤️💪
Hi Dan, Loved watching this documentary! I cried like a baby during certain parts of the documentary! Thank you thank you thank you for all that you are doing and supporting the people that need it! All religions need to open their eyes and minds regarding LGBTQ community and other related communities. People need to feel the love and respect no matter what their sexual orientation is! Keep up the excellent work and I have all the respect and love for you! Take care
this is so awesome, being a mormon and also a massive supporter of the LGBTQ+ community is a confliction regarding my faith for me. I am disappointed by the Church's stance on the subject and their basic refusal to talk about it. I only hope they will become more open and have a more temporal view on the subject. Either way, I believe your relationship with Heavenly Father is what matters the most as opposed to what they determine is a sin.
It’s very difficult for the human mind to realize it’s been duped.
If you’re open to the possibility that you could be wrong, you can start there.
Good luck, my friend.
I just shared this on my fb, I’m waiting for the shunning to begin ...Once my comments here are read I will start to loose people again...I have all the people I need now, so it’s ok.
