The Church's position on this issue has been well documented for years. The Church took a stand and encouraged its members to support the prop with time and $s. Many Church members responded positively and excercised their rights as Americans to do so. Some did so because of a personal belief that it was the right thing to do, some did so because of a sense of duty, and some may have done it because of ignorance, yet, they answered the call of their Church leaders and invested their dollars and time. Similar to what the Youngs did in opposition of prop 8. Many on this board were in opposition to prop 8 and they had every right to do so and could have contributed $$s and time to further their position.

OK, congratulations. You stopped the queers from getting married. Swell for you.
I read your post in the other thread regarding your views on homosexuality and gay marriage and frankly I just don't find your reasons very thoughtful or compelling.

It's position has been "well-doumented for years"? Which position is that? The current church position that gays are welcome in the church as long as they are celibate? Or the old position that being gay is a choice and anyone who is a homosexual is in a state of sin?
Don't kid yourself. The church's position is in a state of evolution. We are in a period of entrenchment, but it won't last forever.
