"The Mormon Church has spoken out against a proposed hate crime law in Utah – claiming it would violate religious freedom.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke out about the Hate Crimes Amendments bill submitted in the state senate.
The bill is fairly standard hate crime legislation legislation, expanding the field of protected characteristics from "religion, ancestry, national origin or ethnicity" to "ancestry, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, national origin, race, religion, or sexual orientation"."
