Church only supported marriage equality act to protect its tax exempt status. Oaks

Post by IHAQ »

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints supported a 2022 federal marriage equality law because it "protects the tax-exempt status" and other privileges of religious groups that oppose same-sex marriage, a church leader announced last weekend.

"The focus of the Church's efforts was not on same-sex marriage, but on ensuring the act contained the necessary protections for religious freedom," church apostle Dallin H. Oaks said Saturday.

Oaks doesn’t want there to be any suggestion the Church is softening its homophobic doctrinal position.
