Mormon Church comes out in support of same-sex marriage law

So So So many gay mormons. And I'm not sure if it has something to do with the nature of the religion or the fact that there are so many mormons. Mormons do make very loyal and reliable employees, from what I've heard.

While I was sleeping, the Mormon church was shifting?

what? what? what?

They had no choice when time after time Mormon men were coming or being forced out of the closet, exposing the church's rank hypocrisy. The number of Mormon men who PING to heaven is laughable.

R1 And even so so so so many more mormon-themed gay porn sites.

Wouldn't this law make gay marriage a state issue?

That’s what I am thinking, R6. So it’s not what it sounds like.

Have the Mama Dragons commented?

R6/R7. It's sort of a states issue but not quite. You won't necessarily be able to get married in every state but if you get married in a state that allows it, the Federal government and all states must recognize it.

It's OK but it's definitely not as good as Obergefell though. I'm guessing because it's bipartisan the Republicans involved have pushed their agenda.

I can see why the Mormons want it. Performing same-sex marriage will be banned in Utah for sure. I don't see how the law protects "religious freedoms" but that excuse is wearing pretty thing nowadays anyway.

I think if Congress passed the DOMA repeal, SCOTUS won't ever take up a case against Obergefell.

^^ Actually, never mind about Utah. Apparently I was unaware of how pro-gay they are. Same-sex marriage is apparently really popular there.

No idea what the Mormons are thinking here. It's funny because apparently the law defines marriage as between two people. Maybe that's why the Mormon Church is for it - to quell the more fundamentalist polygamy groups?

This just in

hell froze over!

If Mitt Romney, who did everything short of trip couples walking down the aisle to prevent marriage equality when he was Governor of Massachusetts, votes for this, I will no longer recognize this timeline.

Can I now watch gay Mormon porn with a clear conscience?

The ball's now in your court Pope Francis!

This, after pumping their cult millions into Prop 8?

Fuck 'em and their funny underpants.

this is especially hilarious given the Mormons' role in passing prop 8 in California

So the Mormans' are sitting on the fence really. Splinters in their arse and 2 bob each way.

How many Brother-Husbands can I marry?

This way they can keep their morals while moving forward.

Has Dustin Lance Black commented yet?

Well, they are polygamists.

No Christmas movies for them!

Lots of gay porn stars were raised Mormon. I guess when they rebel they really go for it.

Ex-Mormon here, anyone that thinks this statement is anything more than blowing smoke up the public's asses is naive.

The church crafted this bullshit PR stunt to cover up the latest line in sexual abuse allegations lodged against them. Their numbers are dropping, one of their most vocal and public celebrities was just on TV saying he left due to their homophobia, and they can't get new members that aren't balding 60 year olds.

They support this law alright: it gives religious freedom exemptions so they don't have to recognize gay marriage in their temples. Let's be real, this is a nothingburger. But secular media loves a good comeback story, so here we go.

[R24] David Archuleta was just spotted at a gay bar this weekend and hanging with an OnlyFans gay couple. It's only a matter of time before he gets his garments rustled in a MormonBoyz special.

I'm surprised.

But Mormons are practical / pragmatic. They don't believe in gambling, but apparently run a lot of things in Las Vegas.

Also, maybe they see that the Catholic church has painted itself into a corner on stupid issues like this.

By stupid, I mean, who should really care about who marries whom. If you want to be heterosexual, go ahead. But don't stop others from having the same rights you have.

They are elevating Bishop Angus to lead the church into the future.

It's so if the Republicans win big in 2024, they can totally outlaw abortion by short circuiting the argument that other human rights would be on the chopping block.

DEAR LORD IN HEAVEN!
