Unbelievable that an LDS apostle (in this case, Christofferson) would give members "permission" to like pro gay rights efforts on Facebook--without fear of discipline!

Wow, this must really be Christ's church, it only took them how long to come to this conclusion? Only after battling the LGBT community, and loosing, they have now chosen acceptance, in a limited way. These leaders are real trailblazer's for Charity!!

Must have taken months of agonizing over that decision. <br /><br />JJ, that UT "non-discrimination" law in UT seems like a slick, kindly-worded version of the IN law just passed. In the end it's all about religions reserving their right to discriminate based on their beliefs.Donna Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271377907141866718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1884927711300537802.post-19899700832254932862015-03-28T07:30:45.946-07:002015-03-28T07:30:45.946-07:00They do have a lot in common, although there seems...They do have a lot in common, although there seems to be a bit more elasticity of views amongst Catholics.
