539. MUST READ! First Presidency Clarifies Church Handbook Changes, today Nov. 13, 2015.
This came out today, and should clarify many points people have been upset about. One thing I am happy to relate is that children who have already been baptized and received Priesthood ordinances will stay as they are. It is given to local leaders to interpret the handbook in each individual instance. It pays to not get too upset too quickly, as the First Presidency have their inspiration from the Lord, and sometimes it isn't immediately explained, but it is RIGHT! Living in a same-sex marriage still needs Church discipline, and isn't acceptable. Thanks to LDS Living for this information!
