The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints does not publish proclamations like this very often (last one was decades ago). Definitely worth a read!https://twitter.com/Ch_JesusChrist/status/1246863717809008640 …

Wasn't the last proclamation used by the church to petition against same-sex marriage
oh come on now, that was in 1995. More fair to look at their stance from last yearhttps://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/mormon-leader-reaffirms-religion-s-opposition-gay-marriage-n1055586 …
Better yet is the church policy handbook on the official website: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/handbook-2-administering-the-church/selected-church-policies-and-guidelines/selected-church-policies?lang=eng#title_number76 …pic.twitter.com/R0SZG3w8Wy
As a member myself, I’ll be the first to admit that the church hasn’t done a good job figuring out how gay relationships fit into its theology. If you learn about the fundamental doctrines, it’s easier to understand the difficulty many members (not all) have.
I think the LDS church has done a pretty good job defining how gay relationships fit in. Not at all. Consistently doubling down throughout the years and embedding it into updated Church policies and petitioning against same-sex marriage laws using the 1995 proclamation.
If you’re interested in understanding the LDS perspective, I’m happy to chat offline anytime. There is a fair amount of conflict within the church as well, but it’s hard to discuss without context and good-faith.
Sure. Also some context, since visiting SLC and after taking tours and speaking in depth with the guides, I researched and read a lot about the church so I'd like to think I have a basic grasp on the philosophy and beliefs of the church.
