I remember the First Presidency issuing the Proclamation on the Family in 1996, and thinking that it was so redundant. As it turns out, it was prescient.

Members of Utah's gay and lesbian community called the letter, written on behalf of the Religious Coalition for Marriage, a political "distraction" and hurtful.
Wait a minute. Utah HAS a Gay and Lesbian community?

LDS thinks marriage is a man and woman?
Don't they mean a man and women?

Used to be the love that dare not speak it's name. These days it's the love that won't STFU.

Yes. Isn't it funny that every election year we have a debate on gay marriage, and then after the election everyone forgets about it and nothing happens?
This is political tricks and nothing more.

It never fails--say anything about Utah and the idiots that think the Church still practices polygamy come out of the woodwork and show their asininity in public forums. Gag!
To: Paulus Invictus
Polygamy has been in the LDS since its inception.
Mention anything Mormon and the hypersensitive nutcases come out.
Get over yourself.

idiots that think the Church still practices polygamy I don't care about the polygamy, I just think the entire premise behind LDS is hogwash.
To: Paulus Invictus
Perhaps he was speaking to when the husband after death raises one or more wives. I've read the book of Mormon you had better watch who you refer to as an idiot.
To: Tzimisce
Polygamy has been in the LDS since its inception. No, it hasn't.

"I feel badly that the (LDS) church has to again re-emphasize its belief that marriage is between a man and a woman," Millie Watts said. "It hurts. It may unite other families, but it hurts my family." Your hurt feelings are outweighed by the higher good of the common good, Ms. Watts.
Sorry. Feelings don't trump everything else.
To: trubluolyguy
no they are not everywhere, they are just squeeky wheel lound mouthed sex fetishists who get excited when people know about their deviancies in the bedroom.
2.7% (their number) of the population is not everywhere.

Don't they mean a man and women?No, not since 1890, when the LDS changed their rules. Any polygamists now are outside the church, as demonstrated in the new HBO series, "Big Love".
To: The Iguana
I know the Watts family. They have two children who are gay/lesbian. They don't have much to do with the LDS church anymore. It is very sad.
And you are quite right. Just because a small minority doesn't want their feelings hurt does not mean we should not stand on principle and say that marriage is between a man and a woman.
To: American Quilter
I'm hooked on Big Love. Just cracks me up!
