Anti-gay political move by Mormon leadership upsets members
”I thought by asking my family to do this, I was simply asking them to send a strong message to Salt Lake City that they disagree with the idea that any church has the right to entrench clearly religious dogma into the constitution of a state or country…. I was just asking them to defend my civil rights…. I wanted to remain a cultural Mormon…. I thought there was a way, an opening up, but then all of a sudden, the church decides this … and I’m not going to wait around.”
