The Mormon Church Supports the Right of Gay Marriage If It Can Furrow Its Brow?
By 
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said on Tuesday it supports proposed federal legislation intended to protect gay-marriage rights, as long as it also protects the right of religious groups to believe such unions are against God’s word.
The Utah-based church said in a statement posted on its website its doctrine related to marriage – that God commanded it be between a man and a woman – would remain unchanged.
But the church said it would support the legislation after a bipartisan group of senators negotiated an amendment to the version passed by the U.S. House in July. The change states that the bill would have no impact on religious liberties protected under the U.S. Constitution.
Specifically, the Senate version states no church can face a civil lawsuit or other legal action for refusing to provide any service or access to its facilities for any marriage it opposes.
The Senate is expected to approve its version of the “Respect for Marriage Act” as soon as this week.
The Mormon church said the amended legislation “is the way forward.”
Now obviously this amended bill is not perfect, but still, this is the Mormon Church we are talking about. Really, this is a significant step. I assume Romney at least will vote for the bill, if not the fascist Mike Lee.
