Just to get this started, i am so passionate about this topic because i have hope for this generation. i belive that equality will come, and it will come soon. the world is awesome, but there is still hate and discrimination. the first kind of discrimination that i hate is race, religion gender etc. but one that really bugs me is discrimination by sexual orientation. Some people think being gay is a choice. but who in the right mind would choose a lifestyle which leads to ridicule and loss of friends and family? And the topic of gay marriage is absoloutly everywhere! i believe that you cant be forced to be attracted to, or love someone of the opposite sex. If you're really into what heavenly father thinks, i know for a fact that he loves his children all the same. so that means he gave ALL his children free agency. the government is stuck in the past in thinking that gays dont matter. but they have their free agency too. the last thing im trying to say is that you have to think gay marriage is right or that you have to agree with any word in this paragraph. this is a blog and i like to speak my mind! so if you can leave a comment, i would love that times a hundred! i like to know what people think on things this controversial. so leave something! :)

I know the church is not against gay/lesbian couples having rights to insurance, etc. However, we know in Heavenly Father's plan eternal families are made of a husband and a wife, not two of the same sex because then their cannot be generations beyond and it does not follow the priesthood order of things.
Posterity and eternal increase are what bring us happiness.
We must allow people to choose for themselves and then they are the responsible ones. At the same time we must stand for truth and righteousness. We know what God intends. And, we know that this is a fallen world with many who are confused and wandering. It is our duty to love and have charity to all and at the same time to stand for the right plan, Heavenly Father's plan.
read this article, I think you will find it very interesting - A discussion from Elder Bruce C. Hafen that he gave at the World Congress of Families. I think he does a wonderful job of laying out the true societal ills caused by gay/lesiban couples.

We live in a world that encourages gay/lesbian behavior - even for those who do not have a tendency to go that way. But we know through our modern day prophets that this is not what Heavenly Father wants for His children. I have a nephew, whom I adore, - was around him when he was a baby and toddler and we've just stayed close over the years - who is gay. He has been with the same partner for about 12 years - his only partner. I always pray for happiness for him, safety for them, and to be able to always take care of each other because their union is seen legally in that manner. That's what I think civil laws should reflect, Although I disagree on having their union called a "marriage" as it has always been defined by a partnership of a man and a woman. Just for the record, I love his partner, too, and consider him a nephew as well.
I think the most important point about this is that we are not the ones to pass judgement on their livestyles/behaviors. Though we certainly don't have to condone their lives, we must be tolerant and, as with a family member, always let them know we love them -UNCONDITIONALLY.
