In my experience, just because someone is Mormon doesn't necessarily mean they are gay.
It can get confusing though after knowing some of the LDS posters on this site.

Most people on this site are LDS. I have no issue with members of the LDS Church, I just think the stance it takes on homosexuality, and women, is unfortunate to put it lightly.
I hope my opinions on this subject are not a reflection of my opinions of individuals, but the LDS Church's doctrine and nothing more.
I know that I'm getting off topic here but what exactly is your understanding on the LDS church's stance on women?
they are Mormons so it has to be oppressive and some form of slavery right.

Honestly, many of my LDS friends are not against gay marriage.
In my experience this is a point of semantics. The official LDS position prefers civil contract language. IMO, what would help tremendously is if the First Presidency (or any other organization who could be viewed as a leader) actively promoted a libertarian view instead of promoting anti-Prop 8, etc. On the other hand, we have the family unit hangup that essentially prohibits LDS leadership from actively promoting a purely all equal stance as that would work to weaken the religious stance.
I wonder what the LDS response would be if the country adopted a civil contracts for all policy. Either way, the current political position is extremely mild and understandable. We may disagree with the religious aspects but we already have political freedom from those.
