and so to many of the rest of us with our churches

gays might as well lobby for baptism and communion to also be “civil rights”

why a simple delineation between church and state does not bolster us and defeat this truculent demand for perverted unions to be publicly blessed .. is beyond me

The libertarian view is that government should bow out of marriage entirely. But societies have given special legal status to marriage to provide stable environments for the raising of children. Under U.S. law, marriage has been considered a “fundamental right.” I’ve never heard the Mormon Church leadership come out in support of the libertarian view. Judging from everything the Church has done to protect marriage law, I can only conclude that the Church supports retaining this special legal status, but only for man and woman.
