[T]here's no other reason for them to be doing this at this point in time, unless it is to help Romney."
There you have it.
Ping to the real reason Mormons are sucking up to the homos (pun intended).
Our first mistake is to assume that they are Christians. Everything else follows from that. They’re 19th Century Scientologists with a veneer of respectability due to their “born-on” date, the choir and the short memory of the public.
I would add forced tithing.
Homosexuals as a group have the largest disposable income.

Well, I think the Mormon Church has multiple motives at play; the Romney angle is one...and could be #1.
Just two months ago, the Mormon Church released an "essay" on Joseph Smith's polygamy, acknowledging that he may have had up to 40 wives...that a significant percentage of these wives were already wives to other men & remained married to two men simultaneously...and that Smith married a 14 yo and several other young teens.
Think about the timing of all of this:
2nd week of November: essay on Smith polygamous unions released
Less than 2 months later, Romney "seriousfies" 2016 POTUS intentions...
****************************************
Other potential secondary factors at play?
Now that the state of Utah has said it's not enforcing prosecution vs. polygamists, the Mormon leaders...who have LONG provided hidden cover to polygamists well after 1890...realize that if they're going to quietly sanction one alternative "sexual orientation"...polygamy...then all is "fair" in lust & war across the board!
This is all rooted in the Lds general authority knee-jerk reaction to the crit the church unfairly rec'd after supporting onemanonewoman marriage in 2008.
I guess they realized how political posturing in the name of "we're not polygamists anymore" made them a cultural target & effected their "comfort zone."
But then...
...(1) the media started running "Big LOVE" polygamous "reality" shows to get the culture to soften up on it...
...(2a) it's been cited on FR DOZENS of times since 2008's Prop 8 backing how Lds "apostles" (like Bruce McConkie) taught that polygamy would be reinstituted on earth when the Mormon Jesus returned...
...(2b) and how their teaching that marriage is eternal means ALL kinds of Mormons from EVERY century would then become eternal polygamists...
...THEREFORE, I think the Mormon Church has realized that since it's untenable for them to run away from their sanctioning of polygamy on the sly that they might as well carve a way to get EVERYBODY to accept EVERY "sexual orientation" under the sun...if not morally, then in every other way.
Mohler has spoken at Brigham Young University — a Mormon school in Provo, Utah — on two occasions, making clear both times “there is a great theological chasm between biblical Christianity and the LDS church,”

The Mormons’ announcement could be an attempt to aid Mitt Romney in a 2016 presidential campaign,

Inman ping.
I said essentially the same thing yesterday.
The mormons are pandering in hopes that the lgbt crowd will leave them alone...
As evidenced by another thread on FR posted earlier today, it didn’t take long for their hopes to be dashed by the lgbt crowd.

If it’s an attempt to help Romney, well then, I can’t explain stupid.
* Romney 2016 run: Providing 'cover' for his pro-homosexual policies
* Boy Scouts' sexual orientation policies & need to align with them
* Lds general authorities almost ALL businessmen & retired businessmen who filter things thru "public relations" & "marketing" eyes
* Lds' own roots of promoting alternative "sexual orientation" lifestyles -- and finally beginning to "come clean" about how wild that actually was...so this is seen as being less "hypocritical" on their leaders' part...
* Internet world unveiling how Lds believe they are actually practicing "eternal polygamy" (men marrying women in serial fashion in temple marriages + historic polygamists supposedly living as such on other planets)...so if Mormons can embrace distinctive "sexual orientations," they realize, "Who are we to comment negatively on ANY alternative sexual orientation?"
* Internet world unveiling how some Lds general authorities (McConkie) taught that polygamy will be reinstituted on planet when Mormon jesus returns...so this is an extension of last reason given above...
Hey Just because we believe that Jesus Christ is the literal Son of the All Mighty God the Father .....
...instead of your Nicene version of Jesus being the second person of a god with a three-way multiple personality/identity crisis....
Doesn’t mean were not Christian.
Plus ..... I don’t recall Jesus ever making you the judge of who acceptably worships him!
...what I do recall is Christ saying “judge not that YE BE NOT JUDGED”
...so according to Christ’s words....your harsh judgement damns you not me as an LDS member!
I am a former Catholic and I never heard the Trinity described in that manner. Nice way to insult other FReepers.
I’m sure L. Ron Hubbard would say something similar, were he here today.
That alone disqualifies it from being considered Christian.

Oh Lordy!! Millions of Christians across the world for centuries had it all Wrong!!!!
We just needed a Peep Stone Prophet with a Pecker Problem, who banged anything that bent over, to fable up us a new testament, so we can all ignore the True Gospel, and ride our way to hell with celestial babies popping out like a pez dispenser...
Thank You, Teppe!!! Planets and Magic Undies for everyone!!!!!
Be sure to have your tithes in by Friday!!!!
Doesn’t mean were not Christian.
Well, yes, if you pervert the nature of God, denying His eternal deity and make Him into a created being, you have an idol you call "Jesus".
Finally, we do not base Christ's eternal nature and deity and preexistence on the Nicene Creed. We base it on God's revelation about His Son.
LOL
All you need now is a few illustrators, a web & more Christian-based version of Charlie Hebdo, & you're in business!
The Mormon church, with its storied history & laugh-worthy doctrinal beliefs, basically invites itself to be lampooned.
