Mormons anticipating marriage discrimination lawsuits?

Yeah, LDS adoption agencies can't discriminate against homosexual couples any longer once homosexuals get their legislation through, and BYU can't keep them out of their housing. Everyone wins!

Let's celebrate diversity, guys!

Are they private LDS adoption agencies working on private adoptions within the LDS (in which case, they can still discriminate), or public adoption agencies own by LDs and working for the government (in which case, they must behave civilly and under public rules)?

Does BYU accept federal dollars and/or serve the general public (in which case, they have to obey public rules), or do they use only private money and serve only the LDS (in which case, they can discriminate)?

Everyone wins!

Don't worry, though. Many state legislators are proposing laws that would make it legal for public companies to discriminate against homosexuals (Idaho is even including doctors and police officers). Bigotry is alive and well.
 
My predictions:

The LDS will let women have the priesthood in the next 20 years.

In the next 40 years, married homosexuals will be allowed to do temple ordinances.

Since the Church has no problem throwing past leaders/doctorine under the bus, why wouldn't they make these changes?

No way are either of these things gonna happen.

I don't see how it's discrimination advocating what you teach and believe. If anything, it would be highly hypocritical if they did.
 
Yeah, you churches don't need to be in the hospital, education, adoption, publishing, online dating, and wedding services businesses. Homosexuals will leave you alone when you keep your churchy behavior in your churches.

Sorry, dude but churches have always been a cultural and public thing.

I don't say this to be extreme but the Klan probably thinks the same way. It's discrimination any way you look at it.

I wrote a paper on this last semester, I think gay marriage is about equality and not religion. Any church can choose to perform the ceromonies or not to that's their choice, but that shouldn't stop gay couples from being able to marry. Just like aethiests can find ways to get married without churches so can same-sex couples. That being said a lot of churches seem to be changing their stances as far as gay marriage is concerned.

Maybe not with marriage, but with other things.

So you admit that the government has never forced the church to do anything against its marriage standards? So what exactly are you arguing about? Why the cause for concern?

I for one am one fed up Mormon who's tired of this Chicken Little attitude I've seen from fellow Mormons in the past few years. Whether we are talking about taxes, debt, health care, marriage, guns, etc it's as if the world is coming to an end!

To me, the wealth inequality, unrelenting partisanship, unsustainable defense spending, and our idolatry of "job creators" is a far greater threat than a small minority (gays) being able to be married.the Koch Bros are a bigger threat to America than all the gays combined.

I like this. Who are you referencing when you write "job creators?"

I was making a point that government has, in fact, had a hand in saying what religions can or can't do. Do you disagree?

It's misleading to to say "the government requires religions, when acting like public entities, to follow the same laws as other public entities" is equivalent to "saying what religions can or can't do". The latter carries the implication that it is talking about religious activities.
