A couple thoughts from a well known author, Orson Scott Card, who happens to be LDS, or Mormon.
We do not think that any belief system, whether it calls itself a religion or not, should be imposed on other people by LAW-- we won't impose ours on them, and we won't let them impose theirs on us or our families.
We do not believe that homosexuals, by entering into a "marriage," are personally hurting anybody. Where the law makes such a thing available, even temporarily, those who "marry" are not our enemies. We believe the LAW is wrong and the marriage is not, in any meaningful way, what WE mean by marriage.
and.... Even if the legal movement toward gay marriage is passed, we can treat our opponents politely and kindly, EVEN WHEN THEY DO NOT EXTEND THE SAME COURTESY TO US!
"would these be the same people who take 14 year old brides and live in compunds and dress like Laura Ingles??? go figure. "
For heavens sake, GO BACK TO SCHOOL! I was 21 when I got married, THEN had a kid. You are mistaking the fundamentalist group of mormons with me. Think before you write please................. or at least get your facts straight.
