LDS Church Needs Gays
Troy Williams via Dancing With Crazy:
American history is full of people like Buttars and organizations like the Eagle Forum and the LDS Church. There will always be those who aggressively work to marginalize minority populations. We need them. And strangely, they also need us.
We queers provide them with an outraged sense of moral superiority. We are the sinful “other” that allows them to maintain a self-image of their own righteousness. And it all works fine, until the day they realize that the “other” they’ve ostracized is their very own flesh and blood.

Likewise the gays find Buttars useful, since he provides them with a ready example of how the opposition is not necessarily more moral than they are.

And where would this blog be without the Mormon church.
