a little more on the BYU student coming out at graduation: https://www.sltrib.com/news/2019/05/06/gay-byu-valedictorian/
the honor code just needs to go away, its flat out embarrassing
I just looked it up and it sounds like he was in the process of graduating, not officially graduated (although pretty petty by BYU)?

I don't understand how this works? Its my understanding that even though you've graduated, BYU has power to withdraw/suspend your degree (I recall the guy from Las Vegas that did the shirtless...

honestly, I'm not sure anyone can argue with Hayes6 point.
As an active LDS member, I am still struggling with the recent decision and rationale behind treating gay couples children any...
