BalanceFX, you make some wonderful points. I am LDS and Gay, odd combo. And The biggest gripe I have is the LDS churches condemnation of its "Same Sex Attracted" community. I was the good mormon girl and got sealed and have 4 kids, but it didnt keep me from falling in love with a woman I met. Im still gay. I just have to hide that side of myself. I love my husband and kinds and wouldnt change my choices but feeling like a leper in a comminuty of such loving people, it horrid. More to your point, There is nothing in the LDS doctrine that says anyone should be punished for a feeling, being gay is not wrong, its fine, having sexual relations with anyone outside of "marriage" is not acceptable. gay or straight.
I support Gay marriage because people should have equal rights in the eyes of the law, if men and women are equal, if varying religions are equal, race, etc.. sexuality should not be a point of discrimination and the marriage contract has nothing to do with god, its a piece of paper, let two people sign it,or three if thats what they want, but that may be going to far
I get you. If LDS says sex outside of marriage is wrong, and then they don't let gay people marry, they've set you up for a life of celibacy.
