November policy
In November 2015, the LDS Church announced a policy labeling members in same-sex marriages as apostates subject to excommunication and barring their children from baptism until age 18, when they must disavow their parents' marriage. The policy caused widespread pain among LGBTQ members and allies, contributing to a spike in suicides among LGBTQ Mormon youth. Many members left the church over this policy.
