The Best Word on Homosexual Marriage

As I'm sure most of you know, the Church has written an explanation for their stance against legalization of gay marriage: The Divine Institution of Marriage. The interesting thing to me is that most of these points were things I have begun to feel myself, the more I ponder out the question for myself. To me, that is a reaffirmation that the Spirit is able to teach me in a vacuum of direct command. I still appreciate the explanation when it comes.

    Sorry to not post earlier, that is an amazing statement by the church. In my limited view I don't remember the church doing so much to explain their stance on an issue. I would hope this would show members struggling to understand, the love coming from our leadership.
    thanks
