I did a quick scan and didn't see this posted yet, but I may have missed it...
I happened upon a link to this "lovely" article.
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865679643/A-message-of-love-Why-one-LDS-couple-has-stood-by-their-gay-son-and-their-faith.htmlI don't know why I expected anything different, but I guess hope springs eternal. There were a few paragraphs that gave me hope, which was quickly dashed by such loving sentiment as:
"I had this strong impression that I needed to come out and talk about my experience of choosing to love my son or daughter no matter what their choices — and to stay in the church," Becky Mackintosh said.
How can mormons still believe they practice unconditional love?
And, as usual, most of the comments made me want to throw things. I guess I'm really out of practice with my mental gymnastics, but I just cannot see how some of these people can justify their "well, it's not a choice, but they can just choose to not act on it" attitude.
Right, because simply choosing who to love or not always works out perfectly for hetero people...
