As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I have been mourning the recent loss of approximately 3,500 brothers and sisters from our community—people who stepped away earlier this month in protest against a new policy announced by the Church. It stipulates that “adults who choose to enter into a same-gender marriage or similar relationship commit sin that warrants a Church disciplinary council.” Neither can their children be baptized as Mormons if they live in the same house as their same-gender parents.
