Leaders say Mormons cannot condone same-sex marriage [View all]

Human laws may change to include same-sex marriage, but moral laws don’t, two high-ranking Mormon leaders said Sunday.

... An LDS eternal perspective does not allow Mormons "to condone such behaviors or to find justification in the laws that permit them," said the apostle, a former Utah Supreme Court justice. "And, unlike other organizations that can change their policies and even their doctrines, our policies are determined by the truths God has declared to be unchangeable."
