FULL TITLE: Paid parental leave, pantsuits for women, colored shirts for men those changes are coming for Mormon church employees
Like their peers, many contemporary Mormon women work side by side with men in boardrooms and courtrooms, surgical theaters and sports franchises, college labs and city halls. Such women are smart and sophisticated in their manner and their dress, overseeing multimillion-dollar projects and donning Hillary-esque power suits.
And they certainly don't see having a baby as the end of their careers.
Now the LDS Church is acknowledging that new reality among its Mormon employees by changing what some see as outdated policies.
The Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints likely the largest employer in the Beehive State announced Wednesday it will provide paid maternity and parental leave, as well as short-term disability benefits. It also loosened its dress code to include light-color shirts for men and dress pants for women.

Just went on a flight with LDS from Altanta to ‘Bama. Didn’t experience any of this. Kids sat separately from me and one said a girl tried to converr him. Stood his ground.

colored shirts for men I initially misread that as "colored skirts for men."
I was not even surprised. Hey, it's 2017, everything goes.

Be sure to ask them what the alcohol content of Grandma’s homemade root beer is at the next social.
I’m still trying to unravel the mystery of “donning Hillary-esque power suits.”

Are 50,000 missionairies 'employees'?
No.
They or/and their parents foot the bill for their VOLUNTEER work for the church.
How about the pew warmers??

Which cover their 'garments' that are REQUIRED to enter the highest level of MORMON 'heaven'.

Responses showed significant emotional distress, dramatic loss of trust in Church leaders,
and a dramatic decline in Church Activity as a result of the policy.
Individual stories help us to understand where and how different LGBT Mormons find hope,
and why discussion about the Church can be so polarizing.
