Given that pamphlet, it's easy to see why the greatest geopolitical issue for the Brethren is homosexuality.
It's not abortion, political oppression, fasicism, communism, totalitarianism, radical Islam, world hunger, disease, etc.
It's homosexuality. Because homosexuals will destroy the entire human race.
You see how these ideas percolate. For one generation, they are literally like unto a nuclear holocaust, these gays. For the next generation, gays will not destroy the world, but gay marriage will destroy the world.
Just like the belief that blacks are cursed, "fence-sitters", and spiritually inferior to one generation. To the next, they are "allowed" in the door, but don't marry them, that's wrong.
When my generation takes over, I suspect that views will be different on these two issues.
