So, I thought this was interesting, there was a comment in another news article about it and I looked it up... Isn't this a topic that has gotten them in trouble in the past. How long did they try to deny their involvement in California and Hawaii? Now, they're making public announcements about how they're trying to get the Supreme Court to hear the case? I'm sure you can guess which outcome they are hoping for.
"The brief contends that recent court rulings have burdened religious organizations with legal uncertainty. 'The time has come to end the divisive national debate as to whether the Constitution mandates same-sex marriage,' the brief states."
http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/five-faiths-urge-supreme-court-to-hear-utah-same-sex-marriage-caseJust how are religious organizations "burdened" with "legal uncertainty"... regardless of how the courts rule, no religion will have to change anything. What is their "burden" that they have to bare because of this? Oh, well, other than public ridicule...
I really wonder how the church is going to spin this when they ultimately start allowing same sex marriages. I figure they will hold out as long as possible, until a few of the old guard dies out, or they are hit financially or publicly in a big enough way to force the issue, but at some point we're going to hear "The church has always supported LGBT individuals, we've prayed for days on end that God would allow them to marry. We're so happy now that they can receive the same blessings of eternal marriage as everyone else."
