November policy reversal
In April 2019, the church reversed the November 2015 policy, allowing children of same-sex couples to be baptized and removing the automatic apostasy designation for members in same-sex marriages. The reversal raised questions: if the original policy was revelation, how could it be reversed? If it wasn't revelation, why was it implemented? The damage—including suicides and family ruptures—could not be undone.
