I REMEMBER being taught it was a sin(back in the 70s). I had a bishop tell my aunt "You dont have to follow your husband down to hell" regarding it. I doubt anyone in my parents generation went south. As for me I'd give as good as i got.

Hmm... Why a gay couple would want to be LDS is beyond me.But, Knowing the churches aversion to bad pr. & tLegal problems. Id say they'd SUCK IT UP & say nothing. but I wouldnt be surprized if theyd be shunned socially & w/callings. THE BIGGER QUESTION WOULD BE IF THEY WOULD LEGALLY Be requird to do Temlpe marrage??? EHH! EHH?

ITS YOUR LIFE! Your CHOICE!! I say choose a carrier you like & if you meet the kind of man YOU WANT (not just an RM) someone whos there for you. than Im sure marrage can be nice.

IDEA in theory. Yes they would share exsperiances and bond w/the church. Theres Just one little problem....About 8lbs. 7oz. of sceaming responsiblity.

BASICALLY THIS IS ONE OF THOSE Mormon/christian dogma clashes. Christianity says we all need forgiveness, that we're born in sin. And LDS say children cant be tempted by satan. They cant discount the need for forgiveness,KINDA negates the need for savior. But we're all Gods in embryo.
