Law of Adoption

Never heard of this before.

Gay Mormons apparently see this as a clause that can help them.

Not claiming it is accurate, but note:

There is no evidence to suggest that homosexual sex was involved as part of the original practice of the law of adoption in the 19th century. However, beginning in the 1970s, some members of Affirmation: Gay and Lesbian Mormons began to suggest that the leadership of the LDS Church should restore the law of adoption in order to allow same sex couples to be sealed to each other in the temple in a kind of quasi-celestial marriage. It has been argued that this would preserve the primacy of heterosexual marriage but would allow an ecclesiastical equivalent of homosexual civil unions—a homosexual ecclesiastical union.[citation needed]
The restoration of the law of adoption was implemented when some members of Affirmation in 1985 established the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ (commonly referred to as the Gay Mormon Church) and the First Presidency of that church restored the law of adoption, citing it as the theological justification for their practice of homosexual celestial marriage.[13]

IN the fine print of this site, when you signed up, you were all sealed to me. I am at the head.
