Mormon church backs Utah LGBT anti-discrimination bill

Utah lawmakers introduced a landmark bill Wednesday that bars discrimination against gay and transgender individuals while protecting the rights of religious groups and individuals.

The measure has a rare stamp of approval from the Mormon church and stands a high chance of passing in Utah, where the church is based and many state lawmakers and the Republican governor are members of the faith.

Getting past how I bet many (not here) will react (predictable comments from the peanut gallery about polygamy or bestiality), it seems the gist of the bill actually protects religious opposition for businesses and individuals- even writing in protection for people who oppose gay marriage from being fired for their position.
