In an interesting development, it's been reported that the Mormon Church is preparing language for a statewide LGBT non-discrimination bill in Utah.

The New York Daily News published an interesting piece today that may cast a shadow over the Presidential election in November.

President Obama's decision to come out in favor of same-sex marriage in May, may have marked a notable shift in support of same-sex marriage within the African-American community, but within the black church many clergy members viewed the move as a betrayal.

It's pretty powerful.

When brave LGBT students from Brigham Young University came out in an articulate and insta-viral "It Gets Better" video late last week, many wondered about the fate of their lives as students at the openly Mormon school. Well, today, BYU officials have released a statement letting us know how they plan to handle the "It Gets Better" students. 

An LGBT group at Brigham Young University tell the world that "It Gets Better"—even for gay Mormons.
