Sorry. Posted this to the wrong thread so I moved the discussion here. This has nothing to do with BSA.

Well sure...but now my efforts to connect my post quoting your misplaced post back to the original thread topic is totally off topic. Sheesh.

Breaking news. Church abandons fight against gay marriage.

That seems like a lot of wishful thinking. I think the article is nearly completely wrong. I admittedly didn't watch conference last week, but even I know that there were several talks about or inferring that the church's position on gay sex and marriage remains unchanged.

The article begins with the uninteresting observation that Mormons were not to be found protesting at the supreme court last month. Well of course the weren't protesting. Since when to Mormons show up to protest at the supreme court. Shall we also infer that Mormons have softened their stance on abortion considering we've never seen any organized mormon group protesting on the steps of the supreme court?

I'm trying to NOT imagine the number of talks we would've heard about this if the article linked had come out before conference.
