Poster says, "At first I was against it because of the sanctity of marriage and it's eternal purpose, but now I am not sure. I agree that a Temple marriage can only be between male and female. This is because of the religious sanctity of marriage for eternity, for propogation and simply because that is how God intended it. However, the Church recognizes the validity of civil marriages that are only for this life and not eternity, even though this is not how God intended it. "Your view is... ?"

What do you all think about the statements of Elder Packer in a past general conference surrounding this issue:
QUOTE There are those today who not only tolerate but advocate voting to change laws that would legalize immorality, as if a vote would somehow alter the designs of God's laws and nature, A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. Do you think a vote to repeal the law of gravity would do any good?"
The senior apostle drew on the church's 1995 declaration, The Family: A Proclamation to the World, to support his view that the power to create offspring is not an incidental part of the plan of happiness. It is the key the very key. Some argue that attraction that is impure and unnatural is pre-set and cannot [be] overcome, Packer said. Not so! Why would our Heavenly Father do that to anyone? Remember he is our father.
Regardless of the opposition, we are determined to stay on course. We cannot change; we will not change, the senior apostle declared unequivocally. We quickly lose our way when we disobey the laws of God. If we do not protect and foster the family, civilization and our liberties must needs perish.

That statement seem different to the one I just read in the Ensign? Maybe a conflict of interest somewhere?
