Now why not church?

Women should be able to dress appropriately for Sabbath and still retain discretion over what they wear in terms of attire.

Slacks are just as fashionable as dresses, and in wintertime certainly more appropriate.

In a statment Elder Quentin L. Cook said: "I would hope that Latter-day Saints would be at the forefront in creating an environment in the workplace that is more receptive and accommodating to both men and women."

At the forefront? Seriously?
In what way is the decision in 2017 to allow men to wear coloured shirts and take their jackets off if it's hot and women to wear pants or go bare-legged, at the forefront of anything?

Does he even know what the world outside of Mormonism looks like?

What a ridiculous statement.

Yes, that statement was very ridiculous. When my older brother went to high school, girls had to wear skirts or dresses. I started high school in 1974 and by then girls were wearing pants in high school. It's like these Mormon leaders have no clue of the world they've been living in these past 4 decades.

Why is the church consistently 20 to 40 years behind the civilized world when they have prophets to give them revelation and foresight?

I know! everyone is so happy about the news instead of thinking what took them so long

Are Elders now allowed to wear skirts and dresses?

Only if they own at least two copies of the movie BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.
