Latter-day Saint students at the University of Chicago—the alma mater of Elder Dallin H. Oaks—have launched a new journal addressing LGBTQ+ issues, gender, and other challenging topics from within the faith. The publication showcases the diversity of thought among younger LDS members and reflects ongoing tensions between traditional church teaching and members seeking doctrinal evolution. The journal aims to create space for faithful members to engage difficult questions without leaving the church.
