LDS/LGBT overcome distrust & anti-discrimination ordinance is passed

To help restore damaged relations with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community the Church of Latter Day Saints endorsed Salt Lake City, Utah, ordinances making it illegal to discriminate against gays in housing and employment. Part of what the Southern Baptist Convention's ERLC confrontationally calls the radical homosexual agenda, they passed.

Last week, voters in Kalamazoo, Michigan, approved a similar ordinance.

The Salt Lake City action is the fruit of a complex process of reconciliation between Mormon Church, which urged members to contribute money to the campaign in support of California's Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage, and LGBT groups.

Mormons are not, it seems, consumed by inerrant distrust.
