The "I would say" didn't clue you in that it was his opinion?

It would be cool to get Christian Siriano to design something fierce for fashion-conscious LDS men to wear to Church.
Currently, our Church clothing is a hot tranny mess.

I don't care what you think constitutes homophobia, or which sins are more serious than others.

I said regular level service. That probably wouldn't include bishopric and above and auxiliary presidents. Church callings are not equal opportunity. I wouldn't assign a drunk to serve with the youth. But then I wouldn't call a perfectly worthy man with an IQ of 80 to teach gospel doctrine. I would only call a certain type to manage church finances. I would only call a certain type to be an executive secretary. etc. Certain sins may affect your ability to serve, and that would be part of the decision making process. But many other factors are weighted. The issue was Adam's #4. I see absolutely no issue with letting a person in a commited, gay marriage to serve in a number of roles, including possibly teaching, though that would come with a lot of consultation and negotiation and a team teacher. |

Let's treat gays like second-class citizens in the Church. They can come to Church, take the sacrament, teach classes, organize activities, etc. But they can't really have any positions of authority or responsibility within the Church -- certainly not be a member of a Bishopric, for example.
Come to think of it, let's treat gay people exactly like we treat women. ![]() |

Now who's parsing people's words? Stick to statistics.
