Ed Smart calls coming out as gay the 2nd miracle of his life

LEHI, Utah (AP)-Ed Smart says the first miracle on his life happened when his teenage daughter returned home after being kidnapped from the family’s house in Salt Lake City in June 2002.

He says the second miracle was being warmly accepted by his neighbors, friends and family after he came out as a gay man earlier this year at age 64.

Smart spoke Saturday at a conference in Lehi hosted by a nonprofit organization that helps LGBTQ youth find support.The Salt Lake Tribune reports it was the first time Smart had spoken publicly since coming out in August.
