Heritage. Though it's still sad reading all the posts from self-loathing mormon homosexuals on /r/latterdaysaints.

Yesterday it was another revelation that they are no longer apostates, just merely "living in sin", and that their children are totes cool now. The revelation came from God via SurveyMonkey showing data that many, many people were abandoning the faith over its archaic views on homosexuality. I'm sure that they'll all come back now that the mormon church's views have been updated from archaic to ancient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even my grandmother, an 86 year old woman who is a die-hard mormon, brought it up and said "that policy never felt right and it made me sad when I learned it." If your oldest and most loyal felt icky about it... Old white dudes suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't brought up, at least not while I was home. I suspect my mother doesn't understand why this change was made. Shes a very traditional person and has a very hard time adjusting her point of view. My father probably doesn't care all that much, I was mostly curious as to what my brother and brother-in-law thought, perhaps I'll ask them some other time.
