Let's hand it to the LDS for "supporting" same sex marriage

Given its history with polygamy, this stance makes a lot of sense to me, and I really wish more churches would stay out of enforcing their religious beliefs on others through politics.

Seems like the way separation of Church and State ought to work, imo.

Church involvement in politics brings us down to the LCD, lowest common denominator, of gullibility.

Oh is that cult's new stance? Because I remember how those freaks and their magic underwear rolled in to California to overturn same sex marriage. No way they had an "awakening" about this. It's strategic.

@Ynotisay Strategic, as in folks who live in glass houses deciding not to throw stones?

I still like not throwing stones, tbh

The Mormons I know are very business oriented. They're ethical and don't dodge their taxes.

They're not going to turn away paying customers. Unlike certain cults.

@Crazywaterspring They’re not proposing same sex marriage in the church yet, they’re just supporting the bill to legalize it.

I'm a member of this church. A big thing that the lds church endorses is free agency

(I'm also not, nor do I know any polygamists 😆)

MistyCee

@caPnAhab I'm one of those libertarian nuts who thinks that people capable of consent ought to be able to be "free agents."

I feel a little guilty about bringing up polygamy, but I do think it's relevant.

@MistyCee no worries. Polygamy is part of the history, yet is no longer supported

LeopoldBloom · M

No that long ago when the LDS church was pouring money into California to pass Prop. 8. So this is a big step forward for them.

MistyCee

@LeopoldBloom That's what I thought.

It never made sense to me for the LDS to be preaching state sponsored religious intolerance.
