This is a very touchy issue obviously, since No-Voters don't want to be made out to be opposing God. Most that I know feel that the prophets, seers, and revelators are just plain wrong on this. Even if they oppose homosexual behavior, they feel like the church is going about it the wrong way.
Personally, I have a hard time reconciling that with their call. Has a single 70 in any of the 6 quorums come out and opposed this? We have Lebowski's word that at least one and likely more were privately opposed. I wonder how those men will ultimately vote.
I must say, I would love to hear an argument about how Monson, etc., are wrong that doesn't invoke 1978.
