I agree with you. I have been working to separate the way I have been treated personally from the LDS church as a whole and its members. I know I still have work to do. I have been bitter towards the church for many years. I have been working to let go of those bitter feelings. It has helped that I have come into contact with many LDS members who treat me with respect, and do not judge me. If you knew my entire life story, you might understand why I feel this way. I still do not agree with what the church says about homosexuality. With that said, I cannot stay silent on this issue. If I feel something being said can cause harm to the LGBT community, I will challenge it.
Can I ask (and I'm not being an *** this-time) if you think the position of the LDS church sets up any "salvation-seeking" GLBT person to fail in that goal of obtaining salvation (as dictated by the doctrine of the LDS chuch)?
