LDS Mormon Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints Supreme Court Ruling On Same Sex Marriage Statement

The Church issued the following statement Friday

“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints acknowledges that following today’s ruling by the Supreme Court, same-sex marriages are now legal in the United States. The Court’s decision does not alter the Lord’s doctrine that marriage is a union between a man and a woman ordained by God. While showing respect for those who think differently, the Church will continue to teach and promote marriage between a man and a woman as a central part of our doctrine and practice.”

The Church has outlined its doctrine and position on marriage in the document The Divine Institution of Marriage, here.
