Apostle Nelson "Filled with compassion for all, and especially for the children, we wrestled at length to understand the Lord’s will in this matter,” he said. “Ever mindful of God’s plan of salvation and of His hope for eternal life for each of His children, we considered countless permutations and combinations of possible scenarios that could arise. We met repeatedly in the temple in fasting and prayer and sought further direction and inspiration.
“And then, when the Lord inspired His prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, to declare the mind of the Lord and the will of the Lord, each of us during that sacred moment felt a spiritual confirmation. It was our privilege as Apostles to sustain what had been revealed to President Monson. Those in a same s*x marriage are apostates and we deny their children a name, a blessing and baptism into the church. Jan 10, 2016 at BYU-Hawaii

t is a good thing we nice mormons did not continue with polygamy and become a cult. Some of the other 'mormons' apparently are a cult. I am so glad Nelson had the revelation to cease calling ourseves 'mormons' so we are not confused with the cult of mormons. From a press release in Dec 2017 " A group of Mormon cult leaders is being charged with organizing s*xual religious rituals with underage girls and threatening them with damnation if they did not participate, according to court documents filed in Salt Lake City. https://tinyurl.com/lsdPoly2
Defendants Warren Jeffs, Lyle Jeffs, Seth Jeffs and Wendell Leroy Nielsen are members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), an offshoot of the Mormon Church that still practices polygamy over a hundred years after the mainstream Mormon Church abandoned it. The Southern Poverty Law Center has described the group as a white supremacist, antigovernment, totalitarian cult.
According to the court documents filed Wednesday, girls between the ages of eight and 14 were forced to participate in s*x acts that were filmed by members of the church. The practice came to the attention of the authorities after one of the girls came forward
Mormon cult leaders charged with forcing almost daily s*x rituals on underage girls The young girls had bags placed over their heads and were driven to an undisclosed location where the rituals would take place.

https://abusedinmormonism.com Testimonies and recent allegations reveal a horrifying history of s*xual abuse crimes being silenced within the oppressive walls of the Mormon Church.
Over the years, numerous men, women, and youth have stepped forward, stating that they were victims of s*xual abuse, and the elders in the Mormon Church they trusted with their story did nothing to contact authorities, confront the predator, or do anything beneficial for the victim. All their efforts were in preserving the reputation of the Mormon Church.

From Lamanite truth: "Christopher Columbus and his men committed horrifying atrocities, murder, r**e, torture, and more. . Growing up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I was taught Christopher Columbus was prophesied of in the Book of Mormon, guided by God. I was an Indigenous child taught to accept Manifest Destiny. Those teachings have continued into 2019, at BYU.
Christopher Columbus spoken of at BYU:
“The fact that the Gospel is being preached to all nations and that there are Latter-day Saint congregations on every continent is in part the legacy of Christopher Columbus.”
“Hinckley noted a Book of Mormon scripture in 1 Nephi 13:12 that he said speaks of Columbus. The verse reads, “And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles, who was separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters; and I beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought upon the man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed of my brethren, who were in the promised land.”
“Perhaps it is because no other single individual did more to prepare the way for the last dispensation than did Christopher Columbus. I believe Columbus matters, because in a very real sense, as Nephi suggests, the Restoration begins with him.”
Believing in Manifest Destiny is believing Lamanites would be “swept off” the land to make way for more righteous people. It is the belief that those labeled as Lamanite fundamentally needed redemption. And it lays the fault of all that destruction and death at the feet of our ancestors.”
It is saying “American Indian” spirituality is a remnant of evil beliefs, due to choices made by our ancestors turning away from the “one true God”. It is saying Tsimshian spirituality is not correct. It is saying Navajo spirituality is lacking. It is saying the spirituality and beliefs of the Shoshone, Paiute, Nez Perce, Hopi, Seneca, Ute, Yakima, Sioux, and many more, are incomplete. It is saying that gentiles were sent to enlighten us. It is saying that genocide, loss of land, forced loss of languages, taking of Indigenous children, and being demonized, that this all happened as a direct result of our ancestors supposed evil choices. It is saying we needed redemption and saving, as if we were not ok to begin with. These are not mythical people, we are here. The Tsimshian, Navajo, Shoshone, Paiute, Nez Perce, Hopi, Seneca, Ute, Yakima, Sioux, and so many others the church has incorrectly labeled as Lamanite. By labeling entire cultures incorrectly, and by pushing this belief in Manifest Destiny, it dishonors the truth of who we all are. By dishonoring our ancestors it dishonors our children.
