Mormons push to make church more accepting of gays
In Utah Idaho and Nevada court rulings push same sex marriage toward legality, fueling a growing number of Latter day Saints to seek reforms within church policy. Erika Munson leads a group aiming to balance doctrine with inclusion while acknowledging generational shifts and personal conflicts. The LDS Church stated Oct 6 that civil court rulings do not alter church doctrine or practice despite the legal changes.

Federal judge nullifies Alaska gay marriage ban
A federal judge in Anchorage ruled Alaska’s 1998 constitutional ban on same sex marriage unconstitutional citing due process and equal protection. The decision allows state officials to appeal to the Ninth Circuit, where prior rulings against similar Idaho and Nevada measures suggest a limited chance of success. Five couples had challenged the amendment and urged recognition of gay marriages and related rights.
