Opinion: A. Scott Anderson writes that The Tribune's coverage of Jeff T. Green's resignation from the LDS Church doesn't tell the whole story.
Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune Executive Director of Equality Utah Troy Williams expresses his support for the nondiscrimination bill SB256, announced during a press conference at the Utah Capitol on Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Also in attendance were multiple legislators and top Mormon leaders, including apostle D. Todd Christofferson, and L. Tom Perry, second in line for the LDS Church's presidency, from left.The Salt Lake Tribune recently printed an article headlined “.
I am sure that the opinions for and against the teachings of the LDS Church are as diverse as the people of this great state. However, I would hope that in reporting on Green’s complaints against the church, that The Tribune would have included or even sought comments from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Think, for example, of the 2015 nondiscrimination law that some refer to as the Utah Compromise. For years, negotiations between advocates of religious freedom and the LGBTQ+ community culminated in a state law that defined religious freedom and protected LGBTQ+ people in housing and employment. This was hard work that gives compromise a good name. To date, no other state has replicated it. And a similar federal bill from Utah Rep. Chris Stewart is still awaiting action in Congress.
I mentioned that Equality Utah released a short documentary detailing these efforts a few weeks ago. I was pleased to participate in that documentary, as many of my dear friends and members of my family are LGBTQ+ individuals.
