Apparently there is a large gathering of LGBT mormons in Salt Lake City this week. I find this bizarre. What self respecting LGBT person would self identify as a member of a church that seeks utterly to deny them their basic humanity? I can see that they believe in God and Jesus and all that, but there are plenty of liberal protestant denominations that welcome them without reservation. Why not join those? It's not like you have to give up your basic core religious beliefs to join them.
I really would like to know what drives such people.
