Do you care if the Church is unpopular with its own young adults and is unsuccessful in its Christian message because it is decried as misogynistic and homophobic?

Most young people view the LDS Church extremely negatively as a woman and gay hating church. If that perspective is to prevail, it will become much like the Community of Christ, small and more unimportant than it already is.

So do you want the Church to say, "We hate gays, shoot them, kill them, because they violate the harsh and heavy-handed law of the God of Moses. We need more eye for an eye around here"?

The decision gained nothing but cost the Church more than it ever stood to gain from it.
