breaking trending news A leading Mormon speaker has called for the
religion to become more accepting of diverse sexualities.
Speaking at a biannual Mormon conference in Salt Lake City, Jeffrey Holland spoke to an
audience in person and online about the need to accept LGBT people into the religion.
Holland, who has been a long-standing member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said
that there was �room� in the faith to accept people who may have different �sexual
attractions�, as long as they �love God� and �honour� his commandments.
He said: �When we disparage our uniqueness or try to conform to fictitious stereotypes
� stereotypes driven by an insatiable consumer culture and idealised beyond any possible
realisation by social media we lose the richness of tone and timbre that God intended when
he created a world of diversity.
Dale Relund, a newer member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, said that being intolerant
would be repeating the past.
�We must not be guilty of persecuting anyone inside or outside the church,� Renlund said.
�Church history gives ample evidence of our members being treated with hatred and
bigotry.
How ironically sad it would be if we were to treat others as we have been treated.�
The Mormon church has a long history of persecuting the LGBT community with its strong belief
that homosexuality is sinful.
Keep in mind this is just one leader, and not the general population of mormons.
And this was just one speech.
