And again the so called ‘official policy’ on homosexuality is contradicted by LDS practice (including the leadership).

I fully expect a revelation in the next 10 years or so allowing practicing homosexuals full membership without discipline.

I can also give you articles on their stance on illegal immigration. Mormons aren’t nearly as conservative as they claim.

Gay rights....Most people assume mormons are not for gay rights because of Prop 8, however there has been a huge (for them) change in the last few years.
They have given an openly gay man a position of leadership (Stake secretary equiv to assistant to a Catholic Bishop), have advocated for gay rights in SLC and changed their offical policy on Homosexual thoughts being a sin in their handbook of instructions. These are rapid and new developments but expect to see more changes soon. Also, you are no longer automatically excommunicated for being gay (which was not the case 15 years ago).
