- Joseph Smith marries 34 (several under the age of 18)
Wives of Brigham Young= 52
Gay man marries???=0 only wants 1
Seems fair doesn''t it???
Sad :(
BTW Mormons who say that they no longer practice or believe in Polygamy?? LIARS
According to Doctrine and Covenants 132!!
You STILL BELIEVE IN POLYGAMY. Until 132 is removed from your scripture, you are not kidding anyone.
As Brother Brigham said----Monogamy is evil and those who don''t accept Polygamy will be damned.
good morals! way to go! - Reply to this comment
- *** guns and God.
Meanwhile the economy tanks and countless women are raped in the Congo.
The planet melts, the stock market tanks, unemployment soars.
And we roll in the mud over this one.
Sad.
Very sad.

If have often considered this very sentiment you have expressed and always arrive at the same conclusion, which is that people feel very inadequate and small to address the overwhelming needs of the world.
It is so much easier to identify gay marriage as a moral issue and to attack it, than it is to deal with the injustice in Darfur, Congo, Rwanda, China, etc. If only folks with such moral conviction put their energy into delivering food, safety, and a future to individuals around the world something could actually be accomplished. Instead they focus on tearing down people because they do not "approve" of a lifestyle someone has. - Reply to this comment
- No matter if you like what a group or person says they have that right. I do not support ***. That%u2019s my right. Like it or not. I believe it to be not only against nature but against God. It is evident that most feel some what the same there is Cali. So what they are saying is we have to listen to what they say but we have no right to speak, because it offends them. Can they not see that what they are saying is highly offensive to me! Being gay to me is a sickness. These people are not mentally right, wires all crossed up.

- If you do not want gay marriage then don''t have one. Anyone who says their marriage is threatened by a gay couple does not have much of a marriage to protect in the first place. Many people believe alcohol, dancing, and any holiday is immoral - that anyone would make such a statement about 2 people who want to express their committed relationship is astounding. Get over it. America was founded by non-conformists! If you want a country where everyone conforms to your sense of morality you should live in another country, perhaps Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, are a few that come to mind.

- I find it interesting that a church that was so persecuted for being different has now taken the lead in doing the same to others. The morality of the LDS church has always been questionable. From Helen m Kimball, who married Joseph Smith at the age 14, to the restrictions on Blacks holding the priesthood, to fighting the ERA movement, to now fighting Gay rights.
I thought the LDS church believed in everyone''s right to live and worship as they see fit. Furthermore, the Doctrine and Covenants (A Mormon Holy Scripture) Says they believe in NOT GETTING INVOLVED in civil matters with the influence of any religion (D/C 134-9). And the LDS church didn''t sink their own money in, just asked members to do so, to the tune of 22 MILLION according to the SL Tribune.
In summary, a church founded on Immorality, should be the last to judge people. See Polyandry of Joseph Smith.. (He Married others mens'' wives in secret,(at least 10) as well as underaged little girls__several as young as 14. - Reply to this comment
- Proposition 8 was the work of cruel religious fanatics, and passed by a cowardly, ignorant citizenry. It will not stand. Gay marriage is here to stay. In ten years or less, it will be legal in every state, once Obama levels the Supreme Court playing field with center-left appointments. It is, after all, supremely unconstitutional and un-American. Our best instincts, to grant and expand rights to our citizens, has been viciously betrayed by this piece of religious mischief.

- I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THESE SEXUAL DEVIATS HAVING A TEMPER TANTRUM! WAH! WAH! WAAAAAH! WHY DON''T THEY LOOK AT THE ROOT OF THEIR PROBLEM: THEIR CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE, AND RESOLVE IT THERE, INSTEAD OF FORCING THEIR PERVERSIONS ON THE REST OF THE WORLD? IT IS SOOOOOOOOOO DISGUSTING! GET A CONTRACT! MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN; IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND STEVE! SHEESH! SO GROSS!

- "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) donated no money to the Yes on 8 campaign (except for a nominal, and legal, in-kind donation of $2,078.97, to cover the travel expenses of leaders coming from Utah for a meeting). Individual members of the Church were encouraged to support the Yes on 8 efforts and, exercising their constitutional right to free speech, donated whatever they felt like donating."

- The "Mormon" church did NOT "pour millions" into this campaign. CBS needs to get their facts straight.

- Build a bridge and get over it. The gay lifestyle is wrong, it is immoral, it is offensive. Stop trying to make society pay for the wickedness of your lifestyle.
