The saddest thing: All the work that many of the Mohos all around, straight allies, and many local and semi-GA LDS leaders have put into bridging the gap between the LDS church and the gay community was completely broken by a simple remark by the Darth Vader of all general authorities, the man who if Thomas S. Monson were to drop dead today would be the next prophet of the Mormon Church.
Way to go alienating people; Im sure that's exactly WHAT WOULD JESUS DO!!!!!
All I can think at this time is the poor Deacon, Priest, Missionary and/or the young woman whose entire hopes for understanding and a little bit of love have completely dashed. I can think of all the parents and relatives who will approach us homos and say: "I love you, but President Packer says..." Forget the compassion, understanding and a glimpse of unconditional love in the name of "The Brethren Have Spoken".
What a sad, sad, sad day for the Mormon church...
