btw, I am not saying that the church DOES define itself around opposition to gay rights. But the more it does, the more uncomfortable I am.
What a fiasco Prop 8 was. I did not support the church's efforts at the time. What one positive thing came out of that? I can't think of anything.

Did the Church lose all inspiration when Joseph Smith died?
I fail to hear or to see any true sign of inspiration, as each step taken by leadership appears to be a misstep.
Prop 8 was a disaster of mammoth proportions. The Church allowed itself to be defined as its opposition to gays. The Church once had a lot of political capital but now has consumed it all in a manner that gained it nothing.
Leadership, as corporate as it is, seems unconcerned and seems destined to drive the organization into the ground.
Losing accreditation over SSM is myopic. Losing sports due to Sunday play is dumb.
I loved many things JS did, not polygamy, but what BY set up not so much.
This is not a happy day.
