Mormons and Proposition 8

The Los Angeles Times | LINK TO ARTICLE

Of all people, Mormons should be sensitive to those seeking nontraditional unions.

Reports that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a big supporter of Proposition 8 should sadden all Mormons. Based on the unique history of Mormons, there is no religious group in our country that should be more tolerant of "nontraditional" forms of marriage than those of us whose ancestors were polygamist Mormons, who were persecuted because of theirtheir "nontraditional" marriages.
