Reply to comment by Zealousideal_Bid118 in BYU students, alumni participate in nationwide walkout to protest LGBTQ+ discrimination by Chino_Blanco

They used to kick people out of the church when they publicly said they were gay. They now have openly gay leadership as long as they don't have gay sex, so things do change. As the article mentions though, it's not changing the church's actual stance--just how things are run. Polygamy, for example, is no longer practiced, but a Mormon man can still be sealed to multiple women (not the other way around), so it's not really gone from their beliefs.

That's awesome! So I can be openly gay as long as I promise to never ever ever have sex? Sounds like Mormonism is perfect for me.

In all seriousness, I wonder how many suicides the Morman church has under their belt. We probably wont ever know, they control the universities, the police, and the government in their regions, what a fucked up state of affairs. Thanks for telling me about their tolerance of gayness though, I hope it doesn't get you in trouble.

You’d think they’d naturally embrace gay guys.

If one man is gonna marry ten women…by my maths that means there’s nine guys without a girl. And who are they supposed to fuck?
