My wife mentioned this story to me this morning and I just brushed it off because I thought there was no way that it could be true.
 
Likely fallout from the recent LDS church policy announcement.

"A natural or adopted child of a parent living in a same-gender relationship, whether the couple is married or cohabiting, may not receive a name and a blessing," the policy reads.

Natural or adopted children living in a same-sex household will only be allowed to be baptized once they are 18, disavow the practice of same-sex cohabitation or marriage, and stop living within the household, according to the policy. Such baptism would still require the approval of the church's governing First Presidency.

Move out and denounce your parents and you can join. Straight up fascism.
 
F*cking up a child's well-being because of bigotry really does make my blood boil.

This story has received national attention though. Crediting made up bullsh*t for a ruling during proceedings was an even bigger mistake. Repercussion is...likely.

Yeah, another issue that society must force a religion to "evolve" on. Hopefully the LDS church will become more accepting and take on a kinder, loving message. Pitting kids against their family like that just because their parents were created differently is one of those areas where "opinions" and "they have their beliefs" shouldn't matter. It's directly harmful and should be combated.
 
Seems like the judge tries to weasel his way out of this, but the very big positive is this probably means the child can stay with its adoptive parents.
