Apologists constantly beat the drum that Joseph Smith's
"marriages" did not necessarily involve sex. They emphasize
this specially with the polyandrous "marriages" and with Helen
Mar Kimball, the 14-year-old.

Just because someone is "married" doesn't mean it involves sex,
right? That would be an UNFOUNDED ASSUMPTION, we are told

But, if a same-sex couple is legally married there is the
blanket* ASSUMPTION that they are engaging in sex, and they are
summarily excommunicated and any children living with them are
barred from membership.

Two things I like about the Church . . . its face.




* Maybe I should say "under-the-blanket assumption."

that's a good point. why mormon's have a cloak of charity for the numerous oddities of Smith but nothing for the oddities of ss marriage.
