“But I can’t imagine that his political view of homosexuality squares with his Mormon faith. To me, just more of an indication that the guy is a blank slate from a values perspective.”
There is a pattern here. Willard promotes abortion and formal homosexual copulatory arrangements as public policy, but not within amongst his own co-religionists. He encourages fecundity and stability narrowly within his own group, and sterile, self destructive behavior amongst ALL others.
Willard is not hypocritical, nor schizophrenic, nor empty. He is a malefactor, and works to as certain a purpose as did his moral and intellectual equivalent, Margaret Sanger.
And your view of his purpose is . . . ? I am honestly asking. I could see your theory going in several directions. And I know some, but not that much about Mormonism. I am staunch conservative Presbyterian.
