The Message is in the Symbol

Symbols are a very powerful way to communicate a message. Symbols and parables often make known something that is not spelled out in words.


When I saw the LDS July 2015 New Era cover, a message was communicated to me. The Supreme Court’s landmark decision to make same-sex marriage an equal right set in motion “rainbow everything”.

To see the LDS temples portrayed in a rainbow theme, sends the message that LGBT marriages will soon have equal rights within the LDS temples.

  1. It seemed to me there also might be a message about polygamy if you look at the three human silhouettes on the left. And the two male silhouettes on the right (plus rainbows) conveys a message about gay marriage.
