As you may recall, the church did a survey recently asking what members want from the LDS history dept. The number one response was "more honest history". Vindication for Quinn. (and of course, Arrington).

Quinn is a phenomenal historian. I think LDS members will have to come to grips with that fact, rather than screaming "but he is gay!" over and over when presented with something Quinn wrote.
