Likely we have heard from lgbtq members for years they are just in denial or still in the closet.Cnsl1 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 9:57 amI wonder when/if we'll ever see the LGBTQ group represented in general conf.alas wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 9:52 amThe only thing they need for more diversity is more women.

Let’s see, 78 was when they gave blacks the priesthood and it took them 40 odd years to have a black 70 speak. They haven’t given LGBT church worthiness yet, so I say closer to 50 years.Cnsl1 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 9:57 amI wonder when/if we'll ever see the LGBTQ group represented in general conf.alas wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 9:52 amThe only thing they need for more diversity is more women.

Agreed. Despite my cynicism it is a step forward to emphasize diversity, despite it being way out of character based on past practice.lostinmiddlemormonism wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 9:50 am I agree with the previous poster that we should keep this no old white guy trend going.

You're probably right, but I was hoping for a more exponential change, especially as the church continues to dwindle in growth and retention.
