Yet another signpost of how Mormonism really risks being sequestered into the category of "bigots."

People can argue whether it is fair or not to marginalize Mormonism, but it is happening and will continue to happen. While many active members bite their fingernails wondering why we are making this our stand.

Until the older generation lets go of its gay hate, Mormons will be marginalized.

One of the ways that Mormonism may find itself out of the fog is to re-think the concept Excommunication and Disfellowshipping for sexual "transgressions."

It is strange to grant non-professional lay clergy judgment rights over a person's sex life.

I don't know if either of you has seen Spotlight, the movie about the Boston Herald's exposee on the sexual abuse of children by the clergy. Included in that investigation was a psychologist who had studied the issue for forty years. He noted that 6% of all priests will abuse children, and that 50% of priests are having sex.

The LDS Church reconfigured its approach to identifying members with sexual predatory tendencies as a result of legal liability.

What father wants a forty, fifty or sixty year old man talking to his 13 year old daughter about her sex life? That issue is fraught with legal liability. The LDS Church needs to move away from that issue. And if it does it can have a reconciliation with gay people in and out of the Church.

Not juicy enough. Stripper would probably be better.

She was masquerading as a believer the whole time. Lying.

The un-masking of her masquerade continues:

Her reddit posting history as exmofeministq:

https://www.reddit.com/user/exmofeministq

A post that gives context to her agenda:

I'm less concerned with whether the former instructor had machinations. I'm more interested in how and why BYU-I makes decisions.

You and I agree that the Church should get gay friendly and drop the hostility toward the LGBTQ community.
