Affirmation: Gay & Lesbian Mormons

LDS Site Supports Same-Sex Marriage
“Civil same-sex marriage is in no way contrary to the Constitution or official LDS doctrine”

Lady Liberty Meets Angel Moroni:
Mormons for same-sex marriage

A group of Latter-day Saints have launched a new website in support of the right of gays and lesbians to marry. The creators of LDS4GayMarriage.net believe that civil marriage is a constitutional right that should be granted to everyone—straight and gay citizens alike.

"Civil same-sex marriage is in no way contrary to the Constitution or official LDS doctrine," the website reads. "The efforts of those opposing civil same-sex marriage, however, are contrary to logic, official LDS doctrine and the Bible. Those who agree or disagree, legally, logically or doctrinally, are invited to share their thoughts, questions and concerns."

"The scriptures denounce efforts by many, including many LDS, to let their 'religious opinions prompt them to infringe upon the rights and liberties of others…'… If, however, the Constitution really meant to ensure that all people are equal with equal rights and equality under the law, then opposing full equality for any group is evil and contrary to scripture."
