.......What does the church gain by demonizing it?
Nothing.
That’s a tragedy, when so many Latter-day Saints have opened their hearts to the LGBT community, understanding that no one should suffer denigration and condemnation because of their sexual nature.
Oaks and his colleagues are fighting a losing battle. Gone are the days when gays and lesbians lived in fearful isolation. The world is open to them now. It cannot be closed.
I’d suggest a close reading of the Bible’s Matthew 25:40, when Jesus says, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
I wish it was getting some national attention. I've emailed it around a bit but nobody has picked it up.

World's oldest dad is 94 – and likes sex three times a night Becoming the world's oldest dad has meant that 94-year-old Ramjeet Raghav has had to put his sex life on hold.
The nonagenarian and his partner Shakuntala, who is in her 50s, have halted their three-times-a-night lovemaking in order to focus on their new son Vikramjeet.
'I'm healthy and I enjoy sex with my wife. I think it's very important for a husband and wife to have sex regularly,' Mr Raghav, from Haryana in northern India, who spent nine decades as a bachelor, told The Sun.
"When she asks I will go on all night but for the sake of my child I've put our needs aside for now."
His partner added that she does not think her husband seems old, saying: 'He can make love like any 25-year-old man - even better because he can go on all night. And he's a wonderful father.'
The couple also revealed that once they have settled into parenthood they would like to try for a second child.
