Interesting. Not sure what the parents expected to happen? They know the Morman church's teaching on homosexuality.
What on earth are Heavenly parents? Never heard of that.

It's God and his wife.

I'm surprised they turned off her mic and asked her to sit down. I've heard many more questionable things being said from the pulpit and never once seen someone asked to sit down.
That being said, the only explanation to me is that they felt she was proactively trying to cause problems. It does seem odd that someone just happened to be recording it.

What if God and his partner are just living in sin? How do you know they're married?

Or if you're a Nun and you're going to rat out a Priest.....
Rat out isn't the term i'd use, meeting your moral and legal obligations to the community is more in line with my thinking.
It usually is. 1st Sunday of the week was something I always loathed.

But how else can we get up and tell everyone how much better we are than the rest without looking like a douche?

who was recording it? What did she or her parents really expect? While I'd probably let her finish it I don't blame the leadership cutting her off. The church's stance on this issue is pretty clear. Chances are it won't change until the church sees major financial difficulty or faces federal retribution (which could be argued to be federal overreach).
It'll be interesting to see how the church reacts in the coming decade or two. They're seeing much slower church growth in even central and South American countries. Traditionally, these have acted as convert gold mines to help prop up sluggish growth throughout North America and Europe.
However, millennials are leaving in droves. Meaning the church potentially could face diminishing numbers in the future as their retention for young members decreases.
Does the church need to change its views/practices on a few issues (women and the priesthood? Gay marriage) or just change its tone on These issues? Meaning, they maintain their same stances but are less vocal and harash in declaring them (think the worldwide conference talk declaring gay marriages to be counterfeit marriages).
Or does the church need to do something else? Maybe add more diversity to leadership positions, change church sessions to be shorter, etc?
Or is there anything the church can do? Historically speaking, industrialized countries become less religious over time. Maybe it's finally just catching up to the United States, central, and South America?
