Gay Mormons Ask Church for Apology on Gay Marriage

Current and former Mormons opposed to the church’s stance on same-sex marriage and its efforts to ban it have launched a Web site asking the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to soften its views, reports the Associated Press. The site, www.lds.apology.org, calls on LDS leaders in a petition to stop antigay policies and fundraising. It also includes historical information about Mormon work to ban same-sex marriage, details about official Mormon teachings on homosexuality, and the names of gay Mormons who have committed suicide. Anyone may sign the petition. Full Story from The Advocate
