The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints supported a 2022 federal marriage equality law because it 'protects the tax-exempt status' and other privileges of religious groups that oppose same-sex marriage, a church leader announced last weekend.
Instead, Oaks said, the church was more interested in protecting itself from legal action as it refuses to perform same-sex weddings.
Oaks explicitly denied that the church's stance had changed, adding the law's effect was "misunderstood” as news outlets focused on the part that "affirmed same-sex marriage."Oaks previously called for a new legal "balance between religious freedom and nondiscrimination."
