For me, it basically comes down to what does the Prophet say we should do. <br /><br />I heard one LDS gay man say that while he believes in God and the gospel, he can't live it because he is gay and deserves to have a partner to love and be with. I understand what he's saying, but at the same time I think, well I deserve a partner, a husband to love, and now that was taken from me (for a time). So does that mean I can break God's commandments if say I fall in love with a married man and have an affair, or have a relationship out of marriage? Does that make it okay because of the trial I was given?<br /><br />I have gay family members and friends, too. And of course I want them to be happy. It's definitely a hard one.<br />tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849649019416902710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-9316100150735713262013-03-28T12:09:33.748-06:002013-03-28T12:09:33.748-06:00Well, I'll be danged.

I am so clueless!!!!!<br />I think I have to agree with everything you said.<br />I too have some friends who are gay, and they are really nice, fun people.<br />I am, truthfully, tired of the whole things.<br /><br />I don't think, with the direction the world is going anyway, that we are going to be able to change to much. Is that a pessimistic statement?? <br />Even though I believe it is Morally wrong, I struggle with the issues of not giving them the right to marriage/civil union....however they want to translate it.<br />I don't want MY rights taken away.<br />It gets to be really dicy for me.<br /><br />but hey, what the heck do I KNOWwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619293936418976914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-90013906088676762772013-03-28T09:38:20.303-06:002013-03-28T09:38:20.303-06:00good thoughts and a great post!

This was well written and articulate, and is what I would propose if I had a hand in it. I am so tired of the labeling being thrown around by both sides. There are probably precious few of us who are not touched personally by this issue, so I think a little sensitivity is called for, as well as the realization that everyone doesn't have to agree on all points. But vicious behavior doesn't solve anything.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-77743357879626573242013-03-27T13:02:53.729-06:002013-03-27T13:02:53.729-06:00You have a way with words !!

So many people here in California are adamant that everyone be "open minded" ... the reality is that they just want you to believe what they believe ... and when you don't, name calling starts. I'm so tired of it all ...<br /><br />Thanks for a great read!!Merri Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777226666974537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-72206468867506148282013-03-27T11:18:25.155-06:002013-03-27T11:18:25.155-06:00I agree with you, in theory.

I don't want discrimination against gays in the workplace and teach my children to love everyone and to not mistreat people who are different, but is this still part of the slippery slope we have been warned against?
