If you want to understand the legal context behind the recent changes to church policies concerning same-gender marriage and the children of gay and lesbian partnered parents this podcast is a must listen. Salt Lake City based lawyer James Ord joins me to discuss the legal imperatives for the policy change, the reasons behind the guns drawn on gay and lesbian people and their families, and why all of this makes perfect sense in the small world of Temple Square.

We chat about the balance between protections the church places on itself from liability and weigh that against the personal cost to families and the broader LDS community.
