It is a tough call, only because I can't get past the stupor of thought phase. I have definitely studied it out in my mind, but can get no real closure on the issue.

At Church, we sang "Who's on the Lord's Side." Perhaps it was strategic planning on the ward's part, who knows. There were lots of Prop 8 references in F&T. But as I sang the words, I definitely felt great pause.

Curse you, uplifting hymns!

The bottom line for me is that regardless of Prop 8, the Church is pretty rad. I know CatBlue feels differently, and he is rad in a physical/sexual energy sort of way, but for me, the Church is a divine institution that houses the best of us and the worst of us. We are all free to make our mistakes, exorcise our demons, and strive to better our lives each day. I am grateful for it and wouldn't trade it for anything. Except another National Championship in football.
