and attended church in the past.

what if you had a gay kid who was in a committed relationship. would you support him/her? how bout the marital issue?

so then...did you hear about the young mormon couple struggling w/5 kids and a civic or something like that...gave $50k from their savings (i guess they weren't struggling too much then) to support prop 8 in california? i was just wondering just how important is it to the mormon church that two same-sex individuals not have rights as traditionally married couples. is it that big a deal to go against it?
