Are LDS people that support gay marriage
sustaining the first presidency, and the twelve apostles? I am serious. If we vote to sustain them in this capacity, doesn't that include following their counsel on an issue they obviously feel is very important?

Your post has the usual grammatical markers of a legitimate question yet none of the substance.

This is a political question. You don't have to support a legal ban on abortion, either, as far as I know. Why don't they add this to the temple recommend questions? Probably because they respect the right of the individual member to disagree with Church leadership on this issue. |

Does anyone honestly think the First Pres, and the Quorum of the Twelve have NOT prayed about this issue, and what they should tell the members? Obviously they have, and their directions are clear. Therefore, how can anyone who claims to sustain these men as prophets, be in favor of gay marriage? It makes no sense. |

What goes on in California is of little concern of mine. If gays wish to be miserable like straights, why not let them.

That's not inspiring either.

At least I'm on a roll.
And as DDD and Barbara are wont to point out, my humor fails me, but I really appreciate Jewish, sarcastic, dark humor. Mormons, we're often too light-hearted to appreciate it, at least that's what I notice when I make my failed attempts at it.
