I knew one who "testified" that he had 200 wives in the afterlife. He and his wife slept in separate beds. Reality encourages fantasy.

Some of the younger married Elders in my Elders Quorum have expressed the desire to have marriages with the surplus of perfected women in the Celestial Kingdom (it is their belief that women are essentially more righteous and thus will be there in much larger numbers). This of course was said away from the ears of their wives in Relief Society.

Hello Moksha,
Well, Those 'Elders' are going to very likely be someday very disappointed. There will Not be Celestial Polygamy (Polygyny) Marriages being practiced within the Celestial Kingdom (Highest Degree of Heaven). The Big and Main Reason on why there will Not be Celestial Polygamy (Polygyny) Marriages being practiced within the Celestial Kingdom is because there are about 105 males born for about every 100 females.
Here is The Following information is From About.com:
How many boys are born for every 100 girls?
There are 105 boy babies born for ever[y] 100 girl babies worldwide but scientists haven't determined why this sex ratio is so.
Pwople are pissed off for a very good reason. Read this link, see what top echelon LDS hierarchy think of homosexuality, masturbation; http://www.i4m.com/think/history/mormon_gays.htm. Coming back to Wade, DCP & Clones; I have no doubt they are good people, they may even work and tolerate gays, lesbians but if they follow, obey and recite what their church leaders preach that sounds beyond scary.
Don't ever tell me, Church has compassion for Gays & Lesbians before denouncing the parts of such books, "Miracle of Forgiveness", "Journal of Discourses". There is no better time than NOW to clean up the "House of the Lord".
I don't doubt that Wade's experience was genuine. I did see a lot of people on "my side" yelling at counter-protesters. But does this surprise you that they were? Going down there to counter-protest was just as legal and free-to-do as protesting was in the first place, but it seems pretty common sense that Wade's actions were near to an invitation for a punch in the face (not that it would be right for him to be punched, but you just don't make faces at the rottweiler's gate and expect it to not try and bite you). It's like the protesters we see at general conference that give the figurative middle finger to incite anger and emotions--then call members out on it when they respond in anger.
Although I did see families down there on both sides, I sure wouldn't have brought my children to such a place filled with emotion. Also, I'm not sure where Wade has been all these years, but there are a host of "odd-looking" people everywhere, but I and my friends were dressed fairly conservatively. Not all of us there were there for the same reasons, not all of us had the same motivations. . . .to accuse everyone there as being of the character of those "odd" people Wade ran into would be a mistake for sure.

Wade is the worst kind of homophobe, the self-hating homosexual.

Brackite, to compound this sex ratio imbalance at birth, a much higher percentage of male babies die in infancy, so by age five, the number of males to females is equal and they start declining in the male to female ratio. As I understand it, those who die in infancy or before age 8, are held to be blameless and get a free pass to the Celestial Kingdom.

Actually, Mister Scratch, it's common. A friend of mine who is outspoken on right-wing politics, God, "the family" and so on has this fantasy about having a Disney cartoon character as his wife, Jasmine. He has all these video clips and .jpgs of her and is always like, "look how hot she is in this picture". Stuff like that. It's a locker room elbow jab to the side that presents these odd obsessions obliviously as good, hearty American male fun. A boyish zeal for pure, pretty, and unobtainable girls. What they don't realize is that to normal people, they just come across as dirty old men.
