"Reflections on LDS President's Legacy as 100th Birthday Approaches"

TL;DR
As Russell M. Nelson, the oldest-ever president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, approaches his 100th birthday, his six years in office have brought significant changes to the faith, including a push for global inclusion, a formal partnership with the NAACP, and a shift away from the term "Mormon." However, his administration maintains a strict stance on LGBTQ+ issues, causing tension and feelings of isolation among minority members. Despite this, Nelson emphasizes the importance of compassion and understanding in interactions with others.
