Until that happens, nobody who opposes Proposition 8 is being asked to give up full membership in the Church. Maybe it's those who think this issue is a required component of being a good Church member who are "missing the mark" here.

BDB's post raises another issue altogether.....I guess there is the notion that as members of the Church, we have promised to simply obey all Church leaders. Or perhaps the important ones? I don't know....we sustain all our leaders...so when a crazy EQP calls you up and asks you to help move, you are backing out of a promise if you choose to not help move?
I do not necessarily lump BDB into that group...or even imply that BDB is part of that camp. In fairness, she has not had a chance to clarify, so I do not want to cast her comments in a false light. Just saying that her post raises the interesting issue.
