Attack on bigotry, or infringement of religious freedoms?

By Emily Hales
February 03, 2015 12:00 AM
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland mentioned several cases of discrimination against Christians in his statement to the media Tuesday, Jan. 27. These and other cases in the U.S., UK and Canada generated debate about whether religious freedoms ought to be protected.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

It's Valentine's Day month, and that means we're all in for either devastating heartbreak or romantic bliss. This week, however, we're asking you about your love life. We only care about the most anxiety-inducing part of any relationship: meeting the parents. Using the hashtag #MeetTheParentsBYU (or #MtPBYU if you need more characters), share your most hilarious or horrifying meet-the-parents moments on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. Did you wear the wrong color to the impromptu family photo? Did you insult her brother's profession? Did you accidentally trap the family cat in the refrigerator? Don't be embarrassed; it could happen to anyone.They told you that one day you would look back and laugh. Today is that day. Turn your terrifying experience into social media fame.

It's a time for family and friends to get together and celebrate what it really means to be an American.
