With Mitt out of the way, it’s back to hating the gays:
While the church’s image suffered badly, the other reason the Mormon church was sitting out last year’s gay marriage debates was so that it would not jeopardize in any way shape or form what was deemed the “Mormon moment”. That was their long-held desire to elect the first Mormon US president, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. That plan went up in smoke after he lost badly to President Obama a year ago.
Now that Romney is not a factor anymore, the Mormon church is back fighting same-sex marriage. We discovered two letters that were read to all Mormon church members in Hawaii as the state was considering whether to legalize same sex marriage. The letters signed by high-ranking Mormon leaders asked church members to give of their “time and means” in order to defeat a bill. […]
Since it took Mormons until 1978 to ordain black priests, we can expect the first temple sealed gay marriage in the year 2034 or so.
