Tensions surround Mormon response to gay marriage ruling
When the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in 2015, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints mandated that any adolescent with gay parents be denied membership.
This led to riots and protests outside the White House in Washington, D.C.
In order to participate in church activities, the child had to proclaim that gay marriage is unjust and a sin. Some members resigned from the church, while others approved the new rule.
“I think it’s honestly so stupid to talk about things you have no knowledge about and to protest against things that you think are gross or not normal,” said Madison Rollins, a 16-year-old Mormon from Springville, Utah.
