Yeah Trump is an awful person, but also: he's going to bomb so hard. I have 0% desire to watch tonight's episode.

You are an apologist. Period.

And you can continue being an idiot.

Yeah, you’re as neutral as Fox News and grammar is just as bad. Furthermore, I don’t see how saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be harassed is a bad thing?

Wise advice.

I can see that logic, from their point of view. But I cannot understand what bearing this has on the children, even under their twisted worldview there is no logic there. Even if the child does “disavow” non-heterosexuality, they can’t be baptised if they live with their gay parents because... not running away from…

A thousand times: this.

Remember to do your part and flag and dismiss the bigots rather then reply.

If you read the whole policy, it actually doesn’t matter if the child lives with the gay parent or not. If a child has a parent that is living with someone of the same sex, regardless of whether he or she lives with that parent, that child cannot be blessed and cannot be baptized until he or she is 18 and disavows…

Please consider that many LGBT LDS members struggle against being gay well into adulthood. Please also consider that getting married and having children is frequently presented to them as a way to cure or solve the “problem” of being gay. Many of these LGBT LDS members will get a divorce due to the difficulty of…

You know what else would be an active violations of doctrine?

But its okay for them to live with parents who commit all sorts of other awful (and actually punishable) crimes without having this moral dilemma? Why don’t murders and child abusers, etc. have to think about their children’s salvation before they commit their crimes? Why don’t the children of those criminals have to…

Yeah, but that’s bullshit. Mormon missionaries regularly convert children under the age of 18 who have parents who want nothing to do with the church. Fun fact, my brother baptized the child of a convicted murderer. So no, they’re not protecting the children, they’re doling out a punishment.

So 8 year olds who live with their same-sex parents aren’t willing to live by Mormons’ standards and are willfully violating church standards by being born and needing food and shelter? Essentially damning them to hell (or whatever) for existing is not a “punishment”? Nor is it an attempt to punish the parents who…

Exile from a community and ostracism have always been punishments in every culture. The more tightly knight the community is, the more harmful the separation is to those being driven out. Emotional ties sustain us in ways most of us don’t even think about until they’re cut.

Having once been mormon, I can say this ruling will have the greatest impact on how Mormon family/friends act towards gay people. Yeah, sure, if you are gay, you know that if you are out, you might likely leave the Church, but previous to this edict, you could probably maintain relationships with family and friends.…

“There I was, enjoying a light repast at the Applebuddies club, engaging in a fine and stimulating discussion of Amanda McKittrick Ros’s brilliant use of simile and metaphor, when suddenly what should assault my ears but some jenny foreigner defiling the rarefied air of our great nation with her native tongue! Well I…
