Video: CNN interviews Elder Ballard, Romney about the Mormon faith
Washington Post: Coming out Mormon
As a gay Mormon, people often assume that I have an interesting and unique story to share. While I feel what I have to say is interesting, it’s not as unique as one might assume. It simply seems to me that the majority of other gay Mormons often don’t “come out.” As a result of their silence, members of our faith have felt little incentive to even think about gays in the church. They were ignorant, and they have caused real hurt. I study at Brigham Young University in Utah, where 98 percent of students are Mormon. In April 2012, an unofficial club on campus called USGA (Understanding Same-gender Attraction) released an “It Gets Better” YouTube video that consisted of several BYU students coming out as gay. While the video was politically neutral, it got people talking and thinking, including me.

Twin WWII Veterans, Latter-day Saints Celebrate 100th Birthdays, Credit Faith for Long Life
What's the secret to a long life? According to Latter-day Saint twins who just celebrated their 100th birthdays, it's living the gospel. "The 89th section of the Doctrine and Covenants says keep the commandments, you’ll be forever protected, and that’s what’s happened,” Boyd Henderson said.
Mitt Romney hopes millions he tithes to LDS Church isn't politicized
With the release of Mitt Romney's tax records on Tuesday, the world now knows what was previously known only by a select few: Mitt and Ann Romney pay 10 percent of their income in tithing to their faith. Traditionally, tithing records are viewed as a confidential matter between members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the lay leader of their church congregation, but for the Romneys in the midst of a presidential campaign, those donations are now a matter of public record.
Are Latter-day Saints learning to swim in the mainstream in this post-Mormon moment?
Utah Valley University President Matthew S. Holland said Tuesday that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are learning to swim in contemporary religion's mainstream during what he referred to as "the post-Mormon moment." "It's one thing to think about loving others and getting along with people from different faith perspectives when you are insular and existing outside the main body of faith," Holland told a classroom full of students and professors during his appearance as a guest lecturer for UVU's special "Mormonism in the American Experience" class.

Elder Uchtdorf: "Accept Differences, Stand Up for Others. Our Message Should Always Be If You Live Differently, I Love You No Matter What.”
By LDS Living
Latter-day Saints often wonder how we can clearly stand for our faith in our modern world. While it may be tricky to navigate differences we experience in politics, in faith, at work, in our families, and at church, it is important for us to recognize other's agency is just as sacred as our own and to put first and foremost the two great commandments: "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these" (Mark 12:30–31).
