Reply to comment by [deleted] in LDS Church comes out for federal bill that recognizes same-sex marriage by creamboy2623

Yeah this is pretty transparent and I came to say the same shit. The mention of their willingness to respect the rights as a "you do it your way we do it ours, and that's okay." is absolutely calculated and will be referred back to when they're asked what's up with that.

Who is gonna ask them what's up? We know Mormons don't support gay people and they shouldn't have to. Ask the writer of this article what's up with the misleading headline? That's just bad journalism.

That's basically what I mean. They know damm well they could never do it on the UT state level or anything but it'll serve as a goodwill counterweight like "we support(ed) their right to legal marriage, not in our churches now leave us alone". Fighting the tide isn't worth it and they can see that and while its not the most hopeful endeavor but some people are looking to reform the church and now the separation of church and state argument is going to be used to allow churches to keep only marrying straight couples rather now that the work is done legally there.
