10. In 1995 a President of the Church & 14 other Apostles of the Lord issued these important doctrinal statements. As one...of those Apostles still living, I feel obliged to share what led to the family proclamation for the information of all who consider it. @OaksDallinH

39. As surely as we know that God’s love is “alike” for His sons and His daughters, we also know that He did not create men and women exactly the same. We know that gender is an essential characteristic of both our mortal and eternal identity and purpose. @AndersenNeilL

45. The [Q15], foreseeing this spiritual slide, prepared a proclamation to the world on the family. It is even more relevant today. If you will heed that proclamation, brothers and sisters, you will be blessed. God lives and loves us. @NelsonRussellM
