PRRIOn the issue of allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry, the court of public opinion has rendered a verdict, and it is likely that the Supreme Court will concur. Today, nearly seven in ten (69 percent) Americans favor laws that would protect LGBT individuals against discrimination in jobs, public accommodations, and housing, compared to 25 percent who oppose such policies
And I think that being in the position I was in the Senate, fighting employment discrimination which we still have some ways to go, was appropriate at that time.

What will they have to say then? Farmgal 4 Maybe, but they will never act on it for fear of being ostracized by the rest of the family, along with the fear of hellfire and brimstone waiting for them after death.

The last revelation took place in 1978, allowing blacks to receive the priesthood."To be fair, she noted, a lot of churches held similar beliefs about blacks until the Civil Rights movement. These sins range from drinking alcohol, coffee or tea, or smoking cigarettes, to 'major' sins such as adultery, murder, etc." Johnston said.The punishment, Johnston said, is that you don't get to reach the third heaven, where God dwells."There is no hell (in the Mormon religion)," she said

It rejects the anthropological truth that marriage is based on the complementarity of man and woman, the biological fact that reproduction depends on a man and a woman, and the social reality that children need a mother and a father
How Evangelicals Can End the Culture War - OnFaith
Bribery, coercion, tricks, and withholding medicine (or health insurance) are also used by some evangelicals for political reasons in the United States.

What Did Jesus Say About Homosexuality? - OnFaith
The sooner we learn to just love our neighbor as Jesus told us to (regardless of race, creed, color and sexual orientation) the better off we will all be. JuniusPublicus The mmore useful point in my estimation is: there were homosexuals then (Biblical times) and there are homosexuals now, i.e., this is and has been a part of the human condition, probably from time immemorial
