        @raphjd Thanks for posting this.

        The December 23rd letter ... pulled no punches. “While most members are good people trying to do right, I believe the church is actively and currently doing harm in the world,” it read.

        I think this points to the fundamental problem: While many LDS members are/want to be "good people," they rely on their church for the definition of what that means...and that's often discrimination against, if not downright hatred of, LGBT+ people.

          Being a former Mormon myself anyone leaving the church is a good thing.

          But why now? I am wondering did he come out to himself? or maybe his business interests forced him to choose between his religion or the Woke mob.

            I'm confused.... when you refer to the "Woke mob", are you referring to:

            • The liberals who support LGBTQ+ rights, or
            • The conservatives who want to suppress, even amplify, discrimination (and recrimination) of LGBTQ+ people?

              The Liberals (capital L) who force their beliefs on other thru aggressive means.

              The conservatives who want to suppress, even amplify, discrimination (and recrimination) of LGBTQ+ people?

              Conservatives (Capital C) are the small vocal minority of the party that uses their 2000 year old teachings that applied 2000 years ago to current reality. Real conservatives (little c) don't care a dam about what you call yourselves or who you choose to love.

              A difference between a conservative and a liberal: a conservative will help someone in need to the best of their ability and a liberal will do something similar but with other peoples resources thru big government.
