I congratulate the Mormon Church as difficult as that is for their stance on giving gays equal rights in housing and employment, i.e. an anti-discrimination ordinance, long overdue. A giant step for the Mormon Church, in the face of their belief that homosexuality is a sin! They hold this belief in spite of the fact that gays are born predisposed to homosexuality - it's innate. It could be a sin perhaps, if it was a choice, but it's not! Their next giant step will be the realization that gays are equal in rights to Mormons. Equality of all people is stated in amendment 14, Sec. 1 of the U.S. Constitution. The Mormon Church must think again before opposing gay marriage to their equals! I look forward to congratulating the Church at that time. But, will I live long enough?
