How many LDS families will do the following upon the legalization of gay marriage:

1. Not speak to gay couples that come to our Sacrament meeting
2. Not allow their children to play with children of gay couples
3. Not befriend gay couples that move to your street, block, etc...

All of these will happen, no doubt. And all in the name of family values and adherence to what Christ would want us to do.
Is it possible to think that gay marriage is not a good idea without being called a homophobe. I am against gay marriage. The fact I am wouldn't make me do any of the 3 things you mentioned.
