Those who have broken all ten commandments plus any other rules in the entirety of their scripture are still cool, though.
Some liberal Mormons expressed outrage online at the new policies. Jana Riess, a columnist with Religion News Service, said she was livid that children born to those living out of wedlock, as well as rapists and murderers, can be baptized and blessed, but not children of monogamous same-sex couples.

You can just feel the divine love emanating from the proclamation. By the way, the Mormons also used to believe dark-skinned folk weren't good enough to be priests because they had the "seed of Cain." Not my words, Brigham fucking Young's. Apparently, the only mistake the KKK made was not inventing their own bullshit religion based on a fraud who translated some mythical golden plates and his racist, fuck-happy (55 wives) successor.
In 1863, Young stated "Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so."
They didn't correct that until 1978. I repeat, most of you were alive when the Mormons still taught that interracial marriage and children meant nonnegotiable death.

BYU removes "homosexual behavior" from its honor code.

This is actually quite a big deal.

I wonder if God is changing his mind about gays like he did about black people in 1978?

Nice.

I tend to not ride the "pile on the Mormons" wagon, so this will help.

The Book of Mormon was hilarious... Is that piling on?

Not in my opinion. The Mormons themselves seem to find it pretty funny.

Why?

Understatement. I have the soundtrack on my phone.

They were initially pissed, but then leaned into it hard. They stopped complaining, started praising, and advertised at every show. A brilliant piece of PR.

I truly wish Matt and Trey would do one on Scientology, but let's be honest, that would result in decades of lawsuits.
