Don't hold your breath on that. Their leaders are on record as saying they neither seek nor give apologies.

I see this as less of a "start" in the right direction for them, and more of a small defeat and tactical shift. They know they'll never stem the tide against gay marriage now, but this bill allows them to go on discriminating against gay people without fear of reprisals.

Never give the Mormon church credit for any change of heart. It's a multi-national real estate corporation with billions in investments. It doesn't have a heart to change, just a bottom line to protect.
