Transcript — English (AssemblyAI, diarized)
0:00 Speaker 1: The founder of the group Protect LDS Children announced that he has been excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Texas businessman and former church bishop Sam Young has vocally opposed the policy of church leaders asking youth sexually explicit questions during private interviews. He even went on a 23-day hunger strike this summer to call attention to the issue.
0:21 Speaker 1: Well, after meeting with his local leaders, Young said he hoped to be exonerated, but yesterday Across from Temple Square, he read his excommunication letter aloud to a group of reporters and supporters, including the reason for his excommunication.
0:37 Speaker 2: It is your persistent, aggressive effort to persuade others to your point of view by repeatedly and deliberately attacking and publicly opposing the church and its leaders. I don’t oppose the church and its leaders. I oppose apology, a policy that is harming our children. And you better believe I am going to be aggressive and out. Outspoken when children’s lives are at stake.
1:13 Speaker 1: Now, Young says he does not know the next step, but he does vow to continue on with his cause.
