They thought the headline "LDS Church plays nice nice with gays" would cover up the truth that they want to undermine anti-discrimination laws with a religious carve out.
People quickly saw through that, since it's not that original. Instead of being nice to gays, they are trying to undermine them.
Sounds like the work of the Great Deceiver, not Christ's church.
Turn the clock back 50 years and replace LGBT with Negro. They see the end of Jim Crow on the horizon and want to reserve the right to not serve or hire nee-grows. Yeah, see how that plays out.
Watching these folks squirm trying to cover their prior comments just to see them retract prior statements is great. Just want to see what TSCC will come up with next.
These guys were all around in 1978. The supreme court is going to make a ruling on gay marriage and it will likely become legal throughout the country. They will once again be on the outside of decent society and they are trying to avoid having to pay any consequences for their beliefs. Most importantly, they need to protect the tax exempt status.
"Sounds like the work of the Great Deceiver, not Christ's church." - Well DUH! Maybe some folks are beginning to listen to me when I say that this CULT is one of the PUREST FORMS of EVIL on the earth.
And just for the record, the CULT has NEVER been a religion, NEVER, just an EVIL force to be reckoned with.

I read the first reference and must point out that the author is a bit blinded by contempt for the speakers.
In this country, the UK, two midwives have lost their religious objection to supervising nurses who are attending to ladies who have elected to have abortions. Their religious objections were dismissed by the EU court - even though their original working conditions and contract had been 'updated' through a restructure of the maternity unit with dual use for maternity & gynacology, ie abortions up to 24 weeks gestation. Their original contract (running over 20 years) exempted them from anything contrary to their religious conscience. Yes, they are catholic nuns but that is not the point, an islamic midwife would not be put through the same ordeal, nor would she be asked to (if she were 'allowed' to work, that is).
When america becomes more and more 'equal' like the EU (which it will) then the only religion NOT allowed to object to anything on faith grounds will be the christian religion. All other religions are given due respect and consideration by all voices, even LGBTQ activists.
This is not a problem for 'the cult' as you say, but for anyone with any faith in christ, church attending or not. This will not upset any atheists here, but every christian SHOULD be worried.
