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?

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.

"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.

Utah's only gay state senator, Scott McCoy, D-Salt Lake

I've heard Utah is 70% LDS. So, Mr. McCoy was not elected without the help of LDS voters. It'd be interesting to find what his level of support was among LDS.
