The Church policies treating same-sex marriage and same-sex co-habitating as forms of apostasy make sense. These are clearly against the policies of the Church. They undermine the God-given purposes of marriage and family.

The Church has long had policies against baptizing children from families that openly are built on models that are forms of apostasy. The continuance of this policy makes sense.

One thing that those who attack the Church will not admit is that this shows the Church is not in a numbers game. Church policies are not about building numbers. They are about building faith in Christ by bringing more souls unto him. It is much harder to join the Church than to leave it. It only requires a formal request to remove ones records from the Church to leave the Church.

Joining the Church requires multiple atendings of sacrament meeting. 6 meetings with the misionaries. An interview with another missionary not one of them teaching you. A formal baptismal ceremony that you have to be present at. Declaration of belief in Jesus Christ and the Restoration, declaration of intent to live the Word of Wisdom, Law of Chastity and Law of Tithing. Generally some level of indication of having actually lived the Word of Wisdom and Law of Tithing. This is the minimum, often interviewing with a member of the mission presidency will also be required in addition to an interview with another missionary.
