Yeah, I've never had such a clear and specific answer. I'm jealous. :)

From the article:

"According to NBC News, students at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, said they had "whiplash" after the school confirmed a ban on same-sex relationships last year, just weeks after it changed its code of conduct to appear to permit them. The move appeared to be a reversal after the private university, which is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, updated its code of conduct for students to remove a clause prohibiting "all forms of physical intimacy that give expression to homosexual feelings."

"And just last week, also at BYU in Provo, a respected church official, Elder Jeffrey Holland, urged faculty and staff to do their part to ensure the university “stands unquestionably committed to its unique academic mission and to the Church that sponsors it.”

I'm confused too. The reference to "whiplash" gave me a good laugh. But it's not funny at all, of course, to those most affected by what church leaders say and do. Seems like in this case they're trying to have it all ways and end up looking conflicted, confused and indecisive.

Weasel words.

They excel at it.
