You state you have no objection to gay marriage as long as the government doesn’t require religious institutions to peform such marriages.
The First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued The Family: A Proclamation to the World. It contains the following statements:
“We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.”
“We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.”
How do you reconcile your position on gay marriage with the LDS Church’s Proclamation that “responsible citizens” should “promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family?” Is the Proclamation the “truth” you embrace? Do you really think that allowing gay marriage is a measure designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society?
You might want to re-think this declaration of belief.
