The Mormon church's new policy on LGBT families, explained:

Claiming to speak for God is a tricky business -- especially when God changes his mind, often, on hot-button political issues after receiving immense public backlash.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church, is facing the challenge of explaining why God seems to have dramatically flip-flopped on his stance regarding the inclusion of LGBT families.

They're just trying to grow their cult. Religion is dieing (thankfully) because people are actually learning. No more fairy tales please.

TRUMP 2020

In 2019 the all powerful, all knowing god has changed his mind. He will now accept tithings from everyone. Daddy wants another temple. Mormon fraud

“Mormons need money and this gets more wallets emptied” is another title you could use.

Don’t care 🤷🏽‍♀️

No thank you Mormon Church.

'Explained' by CNN so...

Amazing how policies change when public opinion dictates it

God is evolving on this issue? 😂 perhaps he should take a poll and see what the majority thinks he Should do. After all the majority of humans would know better than God. liberallogic sad

Not the most progressive, however I think it is great news!

So....it's their version of, 'and I assume some of them are very fine people'.

Qucik Summary: The LDS Church is a for-profit racist homophobic den of child rapists and they needed more money so they decided the gay youth of Utah could stop killing themselves and 'accept them' so they can get more members and tithing money.

I'm in search of a modern day living descendant of anyone named in the Bible except people claiming they are descendants of Israel, Isaac and Jacob.

You can't change the bible just because it sounds good for you. People need to get away from churches that do that.

Why should the Mormons obey the law when the Muslins are having it changed to their way. No headgear on the floor of the house, Muslins allowed wearing headgear in the military and beards for religious reasons in the military. Is the Muslim religion be allowed over others?

Good start. I was recently at the William Temple House in Portland Oregon and was happy to see it's complete support for the LGBT community.

In other words we’re losing bums on seats rapidly and are desperate to fill our church ! Get stuffed! All religious orders are the same ! All hypocrites!

at one point church would burn you at stake if you believed earth is going around the sun, God changes his mind all the times but he is one of the last ones to do it.

DearMrAtheist thought u should see this 🙃🙃🙃

Too many families have lost loved ones or torn their families apart because of this policy. Now their membership numbers are down so of course they have to go back on their policy. There was no revelation. Its all bullshit.

JoeBiden is speaking right now. No coverage whatsoever. No mentions of his handsiness.

really don't care what the Mormon policy is - who adults choose to love and/or sleep with is personal and should be of no concern to anyone else - just too ridiculous

Nobody cares, they're a cult anyways.

Obamacare turned my kid into LGBT that’s why trump will always have my vote !!!!
