Why, then, do we fixate so much of our attentn on nmng homosexualy, a subject that Christ did not addrs a sgle time his earthly mistry?

But the mix of angry msag that mand the immediate ncellatn of my temple remend and church membership were also the voic of gay Mormons and their fai, grateful for an outspoken ally willg to take the heat.
