Commentary: It's time for an outing

That was the headline on the sltrib.com article about the speech by Dallin Oaks, member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, during the church’s most recent General Converence. This slap in the face to my LGBTQ community exposes the internalized homophobia of the LDS Church. It also outs its amorality and hypocrisy.

A headline the very next day, “Mormon leaders condemn bigotry,” shows the height of Mormon duplicity outed vis-a-vis the a-man-and-a-woman marriage mania.

Those who engage the LDS Church — as did LGBTQ members and Mormon progressives by attending the General Conference — need to be outed.
