Yes—if they are baptized, you can then have them sealed to you and your whole family line is then able to connect later.

And how many gay people co-parent with LDS people or have LDS family and were letting their kids participate and now the kids cannot?

And then you notice that it is sincerely nice but shallowly nice at the same time. Happy little “you are going to burn in hell.”

They do. In Utah it is possible to have no meaningful social network outside of your ward, let alone the Church.

Salt Lake is where anyone even vaguely liberal tries to flee to
(well, maybe Park City for those with money.) So we are concentrated in and around it.

A big issue is people who are in a same sex marriage co-parenting with someone who is LDS. One parent wants to teach their kid their faith, the other objects because it becomes parental alienation because the kid is required to disown them.

With a major difference being that the person having affairs can stop and be allowed to rejoin. And their children never have any extra burden placed on them. If you are ever part of a same sex marriage, you are apostate for life and the children have to jump through these hoops, even if the person later ceased to be…

Something a friend posted that explains why this is a major problem beyond just them being ‘mean’:
I’m going start by quoting the policy...
The new section of the handbook is listed under the heading “Children of a Parent Living in a Same-Gender Relationship.” It states that “a natural or adopted child of a parent…

All I can share from my husband so far is the guy who peed on the ceiling

That also depends on where you are and your level of education. Utah, not so much. Especially if you have an associates degree versus a bachelors or a masters. You can be an RN with an associates degree and start at $18-$20 per hour here. A lot of the nurses who “make bank” are doing it by working multiple jobs, 60+…

Which program? Sounds like Home Health Aide or Personal Aide if I was guessing off the cuff of easily abused and overworked/unpaid people in the medical profession.

Not that doctors always realize that...

Ugh—Male nurses end up in a weird spot too (my husband—a nurse of color). He’s new, and he gets the “Dr.” assumption sometimes (any woman in scrubs is a nurse, any man a doctor, all other distinctions are meaningless to many patients.) And he sometimes gets too much respect from people (which pisses off more senior…

Nurses and doctors both diagnose, but they are functionally different. My husband just got his RN this year, and has tried to explain it a couple times. Doctors give medical diagnoses: “This patient has x disease”. Nursing diagnoses are more things like “this person has a trip risk” or “this person has swallowing…

Well, it also wasn’t including CNA’s—They do a lot of the primary care.

I guess it depends on how you want to define the job—I know the job ladder is different (My husband is a newish RN). The MA’s are more part of the line with the PA’s, aren’t they?

Could and would are more than a letter different... And that is if they realized he needed help. If he was just sitting quiet but jumpy, would you reach out?

Fuck that—may he feel like he is always straddling a lego studded saddle

Then as a Philosophy major I should be immortal...

I mean, it is pretty much de facto public domain before she gets pregnant, but after, the thin pretense of autonomy is abandoned.

How dare you not sacrifice everything for the good of the child! that is what a “real” mother does!
