Todd Compton's wife involved with anti-prop-8 website

Post by _collegeterrace »

SL Tribune--Prop 8: California gay marriage fight divides LDS faithful wrote: Many opponents choose to keep quiet at church, while seeking kindred spirits online. Several Web sites have emerged, including Mormonsformarriage.org, which give participants a chance to tell their stories, share their perspectives on the measure and swap information.

"We wanted to provide information and fact check the claims, and we wanted it to be provided by people who are still active and involved," said Laura Compton, one of the site's managers. "We get between 400 and 800 hits per day."
Compton's views are well known in her LDS ward, but she and her husband, LDS writer Todd Compton, have not been pressured at all. Their leaders have done a good job, she said, of keeping politics out of church.
She knows, though, that the conflict has taken its toll on California Latter-day Saints.
"Our wards are falling apart," Compton said. "But we still have to sit next to each other after the election."


I wonder if she, like Flatlander, will also be summed to a court of love after the elections??

I wonder what she means by "our wards are falling apart"?

It means the wheat is being separated from the chaff

I'm sure we'd differ on who was chaff and who was wheat.

That's what I was thinking. How does a ward that is "falling apart" differ from one that isn't? Or, put another way, what does a ward that is "falling apart" look like?
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

The answer is an email away:

That would be interesting to find out. Post your findings.
