Very encouraging, but one wonders what will happen to the poor devils.

Oh wait a minute - they're still religious?

No doubt some still are, some aren't.

That is why God created employment discrimination lawyers, Mr. Hansen. Keep the faith baby.

Ostracization of the wayward is a major problem in LDS culture. The proprietor of a motel near Zion National Park was at once gay and wayward. He said he was shunned, not so much because he was gay, but because he left the church. He is stuck in beautiful downtown Springdale, because his mother lives there, and needs care pending her final exit. Then he plans to get the hell out, and back to high end textile design business he had in SoCal.

Aren't religious organizations exempt from such laws?

It is a church related business, so no. And even for churches, I am not sure you can discriminate on religious grounds for a non religious function, to wit, say firing the janitor because he is not LDS.

Its funny, I'm not seeing too much on this. There was an article in the Salt Lake City paper, but it certainly hasn't been too publicized, at least not near me.

I can imagine the LDS church would want this publicized, so I wouldn't expect it to get much coverage in Utah.
