From the article: A group of activist women seeking access to the Priesthood Session at the 183rd Semiannual General Conference were turned away. The 200 women are part of a group called Ordain Women, which is lobbying the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to allow for the ordination of women. A BYU graduated founded the group last year after returning from a mission to Barcelona.

Seems to be a word missing from that last sentence (I didn't edit it at all)

Apparently, tho, the group was founded by a returned Mormon missionary who feels if women can serve as Mormon missionaries -- and represent the church ...

...then why can’t they be acknowledged something that the Mormon church accords 12-year-old boys (Aaronic priesthood)???

Yet another screaming liberal attacking Christians.

How unique. How novel. How original. How brave.

Now, predictably claim the moral high ground.

Ah yes, and to make matters even more comical, your evangelical street preacher friends who were there protesting General Conference, turned their wrath on the women and started screeching at them from the words of Paul.

“Let the women keep silent in the churches” as well as “wives, be subject unto your husbands”.

It was an amazing little scene of laughable irony. Oh, and the group didn’t even know the hymns they were singing, one of the most popular LDS humans, “The Spirit of God Like a FIre is Burning”. The “sister” leading the music had to look up the first verse on her phone, and they she repeated the first verse. There were lots of gay and lesbian supporters there too. It was a total sham.

But thanks for perpetuating the leftist feminist movement, you do yourself proud.
