The LDS church has always been behind the times on the social issues.

The church thought polygamy was right until it was wrong.

The church thought resisting the US federal government’s authority was right until it was wrong.

The church thought resisting the civil rights movement was right until it was wrong.

The church thought fighting feminism was right until it was wrong. [well, it’s working on it]

The church thinks fighting marriage equality is right, and it’s going to turn out to be wrong.

And how do I trust my relationship to an in-group that has failed that consistently on the big moral questions of the day …in fact they legalized slavery in the Utah territory because, you know, why not?
