Could it be that Mormons oppose gay marriage for reasons other than blind, homophobic hatred?
How else do you explain this? From the AP:
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – With a historic endorsement from the Mormon church, the Salt Lake City Council unanimously passed a pair of ordinances making it illegal to discriminate against gays in housing and employment.
Tuesday’s action was the first time the Utah-based church—which has been steadfast in its opposition to gay marriage—has publicly supported gay rights legislation.
“The church supports these ordinances because they are fair and reasonable and do not do violence to the institution of marriage,” Michael Otterson, the director of public affairs for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said.
