Gay Rights And The Mormon Church: Intended Actions, Unintended Consequences, Tom Christofferson
Gay Rights And The Mormon Church: Intended Actions, Unintended Consequences, Tom Christofferson
BYU Studies Quarterly
When valedictorian Matt Easton spoke to his graduating classmates in the College of Family, Home, and Social Sciences at Brigham Young University in April 2019 and pronounced himself “proud to be a gay son of God,”1 it was notable—not for the frank self-identification, nor because college administration had preapproved the speech. Rather, what was remarkable was the instant, energetic, and sustained cheers and applause from the large Marriott Center audience.
Gay Rights And The Mormon Church: Intended Actions, Unintended Consequences, W. Justin Dyer
Gay Rights And The Mormon Church: Intended Actions, Unintended Consequences, W. Justin Dyer
BYU Studies Quarterly
In this book, Gregory Prince compiles and examines available records of how individual leaders within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Church as an institution have approached issues of homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

The book is an important reference, and I have gone back to it again and again to reference its timelines and sources.

I discuss how the regulation of gay rights in a growing number of democracies in Europe, the Americas, and South Africa has contributed …

Chaos, Law, And God: The Religious Meanings Of Homosexuality, Jay Michaelson
Chaos, Law, And God: The Religious Meanings Of Homosexuality, Jay Michaelson
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This Article argues that the religious meaning of homosexuality cannot be explained merely in terms of homophobia, "church and state," or traditional values versus progressive ones. Rather, the regulation of sexuality has a particular religious meaning: sexuality is a primary site in which religious law is engendered, where the lawfulness of religion meets the chaos beyond it. Whether in Biblical times or today, changing the way sexuality is regulated is a threat to the notion of order itself, as construed by Jewish and Christian religion. Arguments about gay rights, same-sex marriage, and related issues are not merely arguments informed by …
