While other Pro Same-Sex Marriage sites examine the various issues surrounding Civil Same-Sex Marriage (logical, legal and emotional), and address the issues raised by those opposing Civil Same-Sex Marriage, our main objection is doctrinal, from a Latter-day Saint perspective. Our contention is that Civil Same-Sex Marriage is in no way contrary to the Constitution or official LDS doctrine (or the Bible). The efforts of those opposing Civil Same-Sex Marriage, however, are contrary to the above. Like those other sites, we too try address the questions and concerns of those, mostly active LDS members, who disagree with our stance. Those who agree or disagree, legally, logically or doctrinally, are invited to share their thoughts, questions and concerns. Thank You.
Joseph Smith said, "If I esteem mankind to be in error, shall I bear them down? No. I will lift them up, and in their own way too, if I cannot persuade them my way is better; and I will not seek to compel any man to believe as I do, only by the force of reasoning, for truth will cut its own way."
(Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, selected and arranged by Joseph Fielding Smith [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1976], 313.)
We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Sincerely, "Captain Moroni" Waving the Title of Liberty, "In memory of our
God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our
children.." (Alma 46:12)
