Either way, it seems prudent to scrutinize each word. We do it with the scriptures all the time. Take any of the countless General Conference addresses that focus on a narrow reading of one scripture as an example. |

That a specific behavior doesn't overtly harm a given individual is not in itself sufficient reason to allow it. Just my 2 cents.

I can't explain why I don't think it is harmful, can you explain to me why it is? I haven't seen anything that moves me from my position.

I love reason #1: Children need fathers. Really, well then, here kids.....have two! By the time we get around to reasons #7-10, we are basically scaremongering.....protect democracy! protect our lives! sustain our very existence! Yes folks, if gays get married, procreation will cease altogether. I am surprised that there was no mention of terrorists or 9/11 in that pamphlet.

Ironically, reason #4 seems to me like a reason to support gay marriage.

I think homosexuality is a destructive, deviant behavior (note: I'm making a distinction between the attraction and the behavior) and I believe society has an interest in not normalizing it.
