She's been unable to make any case that there is any sort of threat at all, so she seems to be engaging in sarcastic agreement. It does get old after a while.
People are allowed to hold completely irrational fears, and in the USA, we're allowed to say they are completely irrational. Everyone wins!

Yeah, in America homosexuals can own guns, and talk about their bedroom behavior all over the media so they won't want to sue their church for marriage discrimination. Not to worry.

Yeah, you churches don't need to be in the hospital, education, adoption, publishing, online dating, and wedding services businesses. Homosexuals will leave you alone when you keep your churchy behavior in your churches.
Except those of us that have to read it. In that case, we winose.

Yeah, LDS adoption agencies can't discriminate against homosexual couples any longer once homosexuals get their legislation through, and BYU can't keep them out of their housing. Everyone wins!
Let's celebrate diversity, guys!
Both of those things would be positive.
I agree completely.
Are they private LDS adoption agencies working on private adoptions within the LDS (in which case, they can still discriminate), or public adoption agencies own by LDs and working for the government (in which case, they must behave civilly and under public rules)?
Does BYU accept federal dollars and/or serve the general public (in which case, they have to obey public rules), or do they use only private money and serve only the LDS (in which case, they can discriminate)?
Everyone wins!
Don't worry, though. Many state legislators are proposing laws that would make it legal for public companies to discriminate against homosexuals (Idaho is even including doctors and police officers). Bigotry is alive and well.

My predictions:
The LDS will let women have the priesthood in the next 20 years.
In the next 40 years, married homosexuals will be allowed to do temple ordinances.
Since the Church has no problem throwing past leaders/doctorine under the bus, why wouldn't they make these changes?
