QUOTE: “Some people promote the idea that there can be two marriages, co-existing side by side, one heterosexual and one homosexual, without any adverse consequences. The hard reality is that, as an institution, marriage like all other institutions can only have one definition without changing the very character of the institution. Hence there can be no coexistence of two marriages. Either there is marriage as it is now defined and as defined by the Lord, or there is what could thus be described as genderless marriage. The latter is abhorrent to God, who, as we’ve been discussing, Himself described what marriage is — between a man and a woman.” -Elder Lance B. Wickman, in a 2006 interview to clarify the church’s official position on same gender attraction, conducted with Dallin H. Oaks. [source]
COMMENTARY: Can anyone find me the scripture reference where God says: “This is marriage: one man, one woman, til death do they part?” I must have missed that in my studies. But what do I know? I’m just another apostate.
