Mormons for Marriage

A part of me will always be mormon, and the part of me that is, is proud of the courageous members of the LDS church who have stood up to oppose Prop 8 in California.

From their website:

For all its failings in particular cases, and for all the stress it has borne lately, marriage is the great civilizing institution. No other institution has the power to turn narcissism into partnership, lust into devotion, strangers into kin. What other force can bond across clans and countries and continents and even cultures? In Romeo and Juliet, it was not the youths’ love which their warring and insular clans feared; it was their marriage. (Jonathan Rauch, Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights and Good for America)

I know we have a long way to go as a community, but when people step forward as our allies and choose to risk the wrath of their church, they inspire me to believe we have come farther than we realize.
