It was 10 years ago that the LDS Church supported Proposition 8 in California affirming the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman. The proposition was supported by voters but later overturned by judges.
Furthermore, a recent Church policy prohibits the children of same-sex couples from being baptized in the Mormon Church until they turn 18 — and only if they move out of their parents’ homes, disavow all same-sex relationships and receive approval from the church’s top leadership as part of a new policy adopted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormons in same-sex marriages will be considered apostates and ordered to undergo church disciplinary hearings that could lead to excommunication, a more rigid approach than the church has taken in the past.

Could the LDS Church pass their own temple recommend question?

The LDS employees in the LDS Church's Public Affairs Department must be working overtime. I wonder if the old adage will turn out to be true:
First we abhor, then we tolerate, then we embrace.
