Mormon leader: Same-sex marriage laws cannot 'make moral what God has declared immoral'


http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/10/06/mormon-leader-same-sex-marriage-laws-cannot-make-moral-what-god-has-declared/

The article addresses that the Mormon leader asserted same-sex marriage is immoral. Even though the negative stance against homosexuality would be misunderstood or prompt accusations of bigotry, the Mormon leader emphasized to the members that the most important priority is to serve God for them, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' policies are based on God's decrees. According to a perspective of "Latter day saints," it must not be allowed to condone gay's behaviors or to find justification in the laws that permit same-sex marriage. The Mormon church teaches the members that attraction of homosexuality is not a sin, but responding to the attraction is a sin. According to the Mormon website, "Even though individuals do not choose to have such attractions, they do choose how to respond to them." Therefore, the church embraces their gay and lesbian brothers and sisters, but their behaviors should not be accepted in the Mormon's belief. In my opinion, I completely disagree with the Mormons because they overlook that being gay is a personal expression and people have their own ability to choose how they live their own life which should not be dictated by other religion, so there is the possibility that God wanted it that way. Their negative stereotype against homosexuality leads to other social dislocation. They are a religion, but they have no rights to infringe on others' rights.
