I fail to see how it would make things difficult for the Church.<br /><br />In fact it would be quite positive. <br /><br />- It would bring more people into stable marriage partnerships that they would lack access to otherwise.<br /><br />- It would provide a clearer model of morality for the many SGAttracted (heh, I like that) who for whatever reason lack the motivation to seek a MOM or remain celibate (even for just a lack of such a perspective--i.e. most of the country), as opposed to the all-too-often perceived all-or-nothing moral dilemma of "chastity" versus "promiscuity."<br /><br />- It would give the Church the clear opportunity to conclusively show through the examples of its members that following the Plan of Salvation as understood in relation to same sex attraction is the likeliest and best route to happiness for those concerned even with socially sanctioned alternatives being available for the first time.

The church already discriminates in the marriages it performs in this country, both in its temples and in its chapels. And of course, it specifically discriminates against same sex weddings in many countries where they have been legal for a number of years.El Geniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02801064758712821345noreply@blogger.com
