From the article: ...the Mormons are now working with Utah’s LGBT leaders to help craft a statewide anti-discrimination law: Attorneys for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are in quiet discussions with leaders of Utah’s gay and lesbian community, trying to hammer out language for a statewide ban on housing and employment discrimination that the church could support. Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, opened a bill file on Thursday — the last day to request attorneys draft legislation — titled Housing and Employment Amendments and will sponsor the legislation should an agreement be reached.

From the article: The church actually endorsed a similar ordinance in 2009 in Salt Lake City.

For the 2009 Lds church climbing aboard to equate homosexuality with minority class status, see:
* Mormon church supports Salt Lake City's protections for gay rights
* and Mormons Back Salt Lake City Gay Rights Laws

From the article: In December, Mormon leaders launched a website called mormonsandgays.org, and the church stressed that homosexuality is not a choice, that all the brothers and sisters need to be treated with compassion, that we all “need to love one another.”

Series of Questions:
* How does the Mormon church know that homosexuality is NEVER a choice?
* Have they rifled thru every homosexual experience in the history of mankind?
* Is this "so" of every sexual orientation? For example, do pedophiles exercise a "choice?" (Or is that, per the Mormon church, just their "sexual orientation?")
* And, if we're all born with a sin nature -- given that even the Book of Mormon teaches that men have a "carnal and fallen state" and that unless "they become new creatures...unless they do this, they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God." (Mosiah 27:26)...adding in v. 25 & elsewhere in the BoM that they "must be born again" -- then isn't that a far leap to say "we have NO choice" but to sin constantly...because of our "carnal and fallen state"???

Where are the so-called "conservative" Mormons in rising up vs. the Mormon church on this?

[BenLurkin]

Are you on some kind of Jihad against the Mormons?

[Artcore]

I have a bad feeling the BSA are about to cave to these homosexual perverts.

I just can't believe how fast we're spiraling downward.

[ConservativeMind]

The quicker the definition of marriage is undone, the quicker Mormons can go back to polygamy.

[Tau Food]

The homosexual agenda (including queer marriage) provides a natural philosophical base from which to bring plural wives out of the closet. I think that’s the goal here.

[ICE-FLYER]

Urges are not indicitive of innateness of a condition...Homosexuality is most assuredly a choice.

[Terry Mross]

I will have to say at least the Mormons get politically involved. The other faiths are afraid to speak out about anything but hell.

Not a surprise. Once mormonism redefines marriage for one, they can openly practice polygamy the only way to the top level of celestial being.

[Tennessee Nana]

Well Willard did say that homosexuals in what he called “a loving relationship” should be able to adopt...

and as Willard is the father of gay marriage he would have to mean “legal marriage” when he said “loving relationship”

HEY !!!

Willard Mitt Romney said that, not me...

Scorch him..

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

 

Psalms 12:8      The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

      More?

Isaiah 3:9   The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b  Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

 

 

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

2 Peter 2

 1.  But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
 2.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
 3.  In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
 4.  For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,  putting them into gloomy dungeons  to be held for judgment;
 5.  if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
 6.  if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
 7.  and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
 8.  (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
 9.  if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
 10.  This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature  and despise authority.   Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
 11.  yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
 12.  But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
 13.  They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

 9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
     Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

[Elsie]

This is momentous, surely, but the Mormon faith, whether real or done for politics, is changing.

I'm STILL the boss!
