Isn’t it really depressing that this isn’t a surprise at all? That everyone is just “Well obviously.”

The same group that allow mix race couples in…(check notes) 1977! Don’t worry it only took them another …36 years to disavow it. But feel better :

Until 2013 at least one official church manual in use continued discouraging interracial marriages.[

Church leaders did not sanction White LDS women marrying Native American men, however.

I’m shocked that they ignore trans people, SHOCKED I SAID!

The rules read like a fucking committee got together to compromise on shit.

Chairman: ok, so I hear one side wants them excoriated to save their souls. And the other side says they’re just humans who want to be saved by the Jesus. Can we agree on low key shunning?

Its new rules, in addition to expanding on an existing rule that prevents transgender people from being baptized, also prohibit transgender people from working with children or serving as priests or teachers.

The church’s handbook states that those “who transition away from their biological sex at birth are welcome to attend sacrament meetings” and participate in “many other ways”. It also encourages these individuals and their families to confer with local leaders regarding their church participation. The new guidelines, however, significantly limit such participation.

The policy now states that members who have transitioned in any way — whether that transition is social, medical or surgical — cannot stay at youth camps overnight and may only use single-occupancy restrooms at church meetinghouses. Alternatively, a “trusted person” must be stationed outside the restroom to keep others from entering when a transgender person uses a restroom that aligns with their personal gender identity.

It sounds like they think being trans is a contagious disease that disproportionately infects children.

Everyone needs to run as far away as possible from the mormons

lolcatnip ,

Probably because everyone you’ve ever known is part of it and you’re terrified they’ll all disown you if you leave. That’s what happens when a cult metastasizes.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda ,

Exactly. This kind of cult stuff really harms the children that grow up in it. I feel bad for the kids, but I am actually quite supportive of the fact that these “rules” will push people out and away from the cult.
