Gay Marriage

For this post I chose to discuss gay marriage.  I read an article written by a homosexual man who is opposed to same-sex marriage.  Here is a link to this article.  http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2013/03/9432/

An eccleciastical source I compared was The Divine Institution of Marriage found here:

The first article is probably something very different to what most homosexuals believe, the second article as well.  I chose to write about similar articles because I thought that both were good articles for all Latter Day Saints to read.  The man defending marriage in the first article brings out a point that many people overlook.   

Like many, I have been very offended by the countries new drive for legalization of same sex marriage.  Living in Minnesota, the majority of people are in favor of this legalization.  It is not uncommon to see a rainbow button, or a gay pride bumper sticker.  I feel that we as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints need to do more about this.  That is where I come up short.  My husband and I have brainstormed different ideas we have had on this matter.  For example, one Idea that we had was giving out one man one woman pride buttons for people to wear.  Another article that I read prevalent to this topic is: http://fireflydove.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/a-libertarian-view-of-gay-marriage/
