So help an old Texan out here my fellow Godless apostates, my knowledge of the events surrounding the church's fight with the LGBT community is limited to what I read and a Netflix Documentary.
So the church actively pushes prop 8 (discriminatory legislation) in California by forcing financial and campaign help from the sheep (TBMs). Salt Lake denies they have direct involvement and blames who else...the sheep. Their efforts result in a short lived political victory but a PR disaster.
Two thoughts,first, who the hell thought it would be a good idea for Oaks to talk to the press claiming the church is a victim? Second, does anyone else see this as the first step in the church changing doctrine to again fit public opinion?
I would have more respect for these men if they were not such blatant cowards. Every doctrine they are wrong on (polygamy, racism, etc...) they can't just come out and admit it like men. They shift blame to the sheep, they claim they're victims, they hide behind anonymous writings, they cover up, and they send their PR and legal team to intercept.
I've always said this...the biggest threat to the LDS Church is the truth.
