Congratulations to all the BYU grads who made it through their time at the University.

Times are changing.

Serious question -- Don't the BYU grads have something called an "ecclesiastical recommendation" or "ecclesiastical endorsement" which has to be signed off by a male university official before the grad is allowed to have a copy of the diploma and their transcripts?
We used to have a poster here who was having difficulty getting a copy of his grade transcripts because the university was holding them up due to an issue like this.- Wndr.

In the Reddit comments I found where it said She actually received her diploma in December and was just walking, according to her sister.

So they probably can’t withhold anything other than her eternal salvation. :lol:

LOL. Holland will redouble his anti-LGBTQ efforts after this. Perhaps even cancel future BYU graduations.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Or maybe not let students walk if they've already received their diploma.

She is just so incredibly courageous. It takes a lot of guts to do that. Wouldn't be surprised if she is getting death threats as a consequence of Holland's call to arms.

Noticed on a pro-LDS message board that they were talking about this flashing of rainbow colors as an act of treason to the LDS Church. I suppose faithful Mormons feel compelled to think in such a fashion and affirm the same hatreds as their religious "Authorities".
