so yesterday i noticed that there was some meeting going on downtown, and by meeting i mean protest. this, of course, piqued my interest because...everything anti whatever interests me. which, in turn, makes me research this new found interest. i will admit right now and here that i did not watch ALL of conference. i did catch the last few talks but, i did miss the one that was being protested. so i decided to go and look it up and read it word for word. it is
Boyd Packer's talk that the gay and lesbian community have a problem with. when i went back and read it, it seemed to me to REALLY FOCUS ON PORNOGRAPHY. not once did i read the word GAY. now, i am willing to come out and say i do not have a problem or issue with the gay and lesbian group. in fact, i feel for them and their plight and love them with all my heart. i don't believe that it can be rehabilitated and i am having a hard time understanding certain stances on it. i can see where they could take a sentence or two and say, "he is saying he hates us" but, they could only say that in an indirect way and the word HATE was never used.
i guess what it comes down to is this...if you hate the church so much for their stance on family being of man and woman then why are you wasting your time on it? move on somewhere else and put your energy into that. and if you are going to use PROP 8, other religions played a part in that too. (although truth be told, i would have voted against it)
i wonder how many people are going to dislike me for this? i am the most open and loving person in the world. i don't think you can put anyone in a box and be made to decide what they should believe...thus here i am. love me or leave me. NO MISSPELLINGS WERE FOUND IN THIS...I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF. (i can't believe i am posting this, what am i thinking?)
