    Now repudiate your stupid religion, Ken.

    Imagine if a man with that kind of raw brainpower didn’t spend so much of it maintaining the cognitive dissonance of being a ‘liberal Mormon’.

    No, I won’t stop.

    He is responsible for the views of the group he is a member of, especially on this issue.

    Saying nice things now and then does not relieve him of moral culpability remaining a member of a group that has actively and knowingly driven queer and trans members to suicide.

    It’s like a member of the Nazi party meekly proclaiming “Not all Jews are bad guys”.

    Brandon Sanderson, beloved author and Ken Jennings’s college roommate, has spoken on this.

    He feels he can do more good by being a voice of progressiveness within the Mormon church than by leaving it. I can respect that.
