1500 Resign from LDS Church Due to Same Sex Policy

1,000 protesters gathered on Saturday in front of the LDS Church office building

1,000 protesters gathered on Saturday in front of the LDS Church office building to show their opposition to the Church’s same sex policy. TheChurch’s new policy states that they will not recognize the children of same-sex married couples as members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints until they are 18 and only if the children of same-sex couples disavow the practice and recognition of same-sex marriage. Protesters believe this policy to be anti-family and discriminatory.

A similar protest called “The Utah Rally for Love, Equality, Family and Acceptance” is set for next Saturday in the same area.
