I would love to see the LDS Prophet make a very hard stand against gay marriage and say The Church will NEVER change. That should put the subject to rest.

“today’s announcement by the Supreme Court, will have no effect on the doctrinal position or practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is that only marriage between a man and a woman is acceptable to God.”

“...Even as we seek to be meek and to avoid contention, we must not compromise or dilute our commitment to the truths we understand. We must not surrender our positions or our values. The gospel of Jesus Christ and the covenants we have made inevitably cast us as combatants in the eternal contest between truth and error. There is no middle ground in that contest.”

I saw all that and understood well what was said, but if they would say “it will never change”, it should stop the pushing.
