Live and let live. Not everybody is going to agree with LDS people on everything. Gay marriage is here to stay and so is legal abortion. What's the big deal?
It is possible and ok, IMO, to believe in the morals the church teaches, practice those in your own life, encourage others through word and example to adopt some of those ideas, yet not believe the government's role is to force others to do the same. I'm a pro-life libertarian because I believe the government should protect individual rights, and that includes those of the unborn. However, I don't think the government needs to be enforcing every moral standard I live by.
