Your naivite surprises me, especially considering you come from California, not to mention the soup of popular culture you choose to swim in.

I don't believe one has to be a parent to have legitimate reason to oppose normalization of homosexuality, or having it taught as such in schools.

The letter has been widely available online and discussed at length here and CB. Missing Church on Sunday is not a great excuse to not know that this mandate comes directly from the FP.

How about this: Homosexuality will not be encouraged in schools as a result of gay marriage. there, I feel vindicated.

I pride myself in being able to grasp the merely obvious, though I do tend to struggle with the completely obvious.

Okay DDD, legalizing gay marriage isn't going to do anything but let the gay people have a spouse. Society can just embrace homosexuality as totally normal and mainstream, and the only side effect will be happier gays.
Of course it came from the First Presidency. So what? The made a public announcement to the press that they were encouraging church members to vote for prop 8. I don't know what goes on in your ward, but I would hardly say that I feel the church has lobbied for my vote. I honestly am baffled as to why you are so worked up about this. I think it's weird. |

You first said that this effort was not being organized by the Church. now you say, "of course it is from the First presidency." Which is it? I care about the issue, which is why I will continue to speak out. If you think it is weird, no worries.
