The Box Turtle Bulletin reports on an eleven year old internal LDS memo describing the Mormon strategy to defeat gay marriage.
The memo, dated March 4, 1997, provides insight into the late LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley’s strategy for opposing same-sex marriage. It describes a meeting in which Hinckley gives the go ahead, but urged caution. According to the memo, “he (President Hinckley) also said the (LDS) Church should be in a coalition and not out front by itself.”
Make no mistake about it, Prop 8 is theocracy. A church used its financial clout and organizational ability to push forward its moral agenda. Do you really want to live like a Mormon? I don't.
Hat tip: Stop the Mormons
