I think there's a way to express disagreement with gay marriage while also expressing disagreement with having an ammendment that prevents gay couples from getting married.

I'm not for Gay Marriage, but I'm also not for an ammendment that bans and prevents others from receiving benefits & rights just like any other couple.

The angry boardmails I've received from those who can't wrap their head around that are about as full of venom of any boardmails I've ever received.

And believe me...that's saying a lot.

Rocky, loved your comment in that thread of, "Sadly you're probably involved in leadership in the church of some capacity or another. I weep for those who stand in your judgement."

Neil Labute was disfellowshipped because of his play "Bash" that portrayed two LDS men as gay bashers.

Because we all know that could never be the case.

To be accurate, he was disfellowshipped because he misused the Church's insignia.

Honestly, I am surprised at your position. I wouldn't have expected a nuanced position on homosexual issues from you. I haven't given you enough credit, apparently. Well done.

We can agree on everything in your post except for the first sentence. You are just as much a bigot as everyone else. When you finally have the testicular fortitude to admit it, I'll stop pointing it out.

Just because he has a fat head (size 8!) doesn't mean that the rest of him is fat.
