I believe they may, maybe more so a major split. Positions are certainly changing, the brethren had to walk back the decision on children being exempt from baptism if their parents were practice gays, and have to wait until they were 18, and have to denounce their gay parents life choices.
20 years ago would you have though BYU, with their honor code, would allow student and faculty to openly attend off campus Gay orgs? A student can be expelled for drinking coffee or having a beer, or smoking a cigarette, but they are allowed to belong to the club?
BYU removed the written ban on Homosexual behavior from their honor code, which allowed openly gay students to state they are gay.
My sister, who is a widow, and her friend is also a widow, want to travel but don’t feel safe going to places like South America…so they travel with a openly gay LDS man. My sister is about as TBM as they come, her husband was a long time retire BYU employee and Bishop, 10 kids, and again, as dedicated to the church as anyone…my point being the church is changing in how they view this.
IMO…you will never see the church get involved in things like they did with the California prop 8, that back fired on them.
And finally the church recently came out in support of same sex marriage laws…so technically they support same sex marriage, but not openly as members or do they perform Weddings, and want to make sure it does not infringe on religious freedoms…so the door is opened a little more.
The women and the PH seems to have slowed down a bit, but who knows…I think if the church adopts LGBT‘s into the church, women aging the PH would be a no brainer to follow….but we’ll see?
What do you think?
