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.
Politics obscure Mormon doctrine, church differences
When the pastor of a Dallas megachurch called the Mormon faith a "cult" and a "false religion" at a recent political rally in reference to the faith of two Republican presidential candidates, he sparked a media firestorm. But while the Rev. Robert Jeffress used inflammatory language when he endorsed Texas Gov. Rick Perry for the nomination, his words highlight real differences between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant churches.
New Mormon Papers Offer an Unvarnished Look at Joseph Smith
Critics will find no bombshells in the new 640-page book of early historic LDS documents, but scholars and the faithful will discover a much more complex Mormon founder than they ever knew. At least that’s the hope of the scores of church historians who worked on the book, titled "Documents, Volume 1: July 1828-June 1831," released on Wednesday at a news conference in the Church History Library in downtown Salt Lake City.

Does faith impact men’s engagement with household chores? This new study shows fascinating results
By Danielle Christensen
It’s a stereotype that has been around for decades—conservative religious men don’t help out around the house with tasks like cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry. But how accurate is that assumption? A new study conducted by Claudia Geist and Bethany Gull from the University of Utah sheds some light on the matter.

Author of Children's Book About Heavenly Mother Shares Why We Need to Talk More About Her
By Danielle B. Wagner
Latter-day Saints' belief in a Heavenly Mother is at the core of our doctrine. "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" states simply, yet profoundly, "All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny."
