Letter: Church wants to torture people
Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune "It's a public relations move," said Chase Cluff of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints change in policy regarding LGBTQ members outside the 189th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, April 6, 2019 in Salt Lake City.
Not satisfied with their ongoing campaign directed against LGBTQ people, the LDS Church now says they don’t support the conversion therapy ban.
Way to go, LDS Church! Ignore all scientific evidence, public testimony and common sense. When you cannot actually drive our friends to suicide, you can at least torture them.
