The Mormon-Reform Divide Over Gays

As I return from a self-imposed blogging hiatus following a cross-country move from California to the Midwest, I find myself obligated to address the recent changes to the LDS Church's handbook for leaders. Mormon malcontents have taken to the bloggernacle (i.e., Mormon social media) yet again to criticize our church's teachings on gay marriage and same-sex relationships. As with so many other things, we have something to learn about the consequences of accepting gay relationships from the Jewish community.
