This article is on The Advocate's website today:
http://www.advocate.com/politics/religion/2013/11/07/reid-mormons-are-evolving-lgbt-rightsI find it interesting that the mormon church is "gradually evolving" on gay rights. Reminds me of when the church gradually evolved on civil rights, eventually leading to blacks receiving the priesthood in 1978.
If the cult is really led by a prophet who receives direct communication from God, why the hell do they have to evolve on anything??? Why couldn't God just say, "This is the way things are going to be." The mormon church would be viewed as progressive and leading the way forward.
Of course this would never happen because it's all fiction. I'm sure the prophet hears from the church public affairs office a heck of a lot more than he ever hears from God. I can't imagine a God who would rely on focus groups.
