"Strong member" supports gay civil rights

[MikeWaters]

In the past month, Matthew Herrick, an actor and singer who teaches voice at New York University, has had endless conversations about Proposition 8 with gay friends. He is among many Latter-day Saints in show business who feel the gay community should have equal civil rights, Herrick said, and unfair generalizations about Mormons could harm people's professional lives.

"A large majority of my male associates in the theater are gay. I love them dearly and they know that," said Herrick, who is married and has three children. "I support them in their fight and struggle and yet they know I am a strong member in a church that does not. Yes, a disproportionate percent of the backlash against Prop. 8 is aimed at my church. Hopefully, a lot of it is just talk."

I doubt he will be brought in for church discipline, but in these uncertain times, you never know. After all, he did speak to the press.

"These uncertain times?" What does that mean? How are these times any more uncertain than others? Church discipline has been left to local leaders to decide for many issues, just like Prop 8, for years and years.
