Geoff Biddulph has a nice piece about how the reading of the Church’s letter on same-sex marriage played in his ward:
His experience with conservative members of the Church is also mine — and I count myself among them. Although we’re supposed to be racist, anti-science, homophobic bigots, consumed with hate and fear, we don’t really seem to match the image that’s been cultivated for us.
How was the letter received in your ward?
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were expressions of dissatisfaction with the SCOTUS decision, and some political comments. (I hope that I’ve made it quite clear that I think Obergefell v. Hodges a bad and potentially dangerous ruling, and, if I haven’t, that Mr. Obama’s bathing of the White House in rainbow colors was an obnoxious and in-your-face expression of triumphalistic hubris, though I probably wouldn’t say so in church.) But I’m also guessing that, in most wards, the reaction was more or less the same as in Brother Biddulph’s.
