3. I have a close friend who is Mormon...
He is also retired military and seventy years old. He will vote Democrat this time, although he did vote for Bush in the last election. Bush and the current Republican leaders have not been kind to the military or to the elderly.

He was rather Jack Mormon during his military years and is a recovering alcoholic. He has gone back to his religious roots and volunteers at the Mormon library (although i don't think that is what it is called).

As deep as he is now into Mormon doctrine, he does not recognize homosexuality as a sin, but as a birth right and believes that we need to recognize homosexuality the same as we recognize heterosexuality.

I love this man! ..and he gives me reasons to respect the Mormon community. All religious groups have bad apples. So, he's proof there are liberal Mormons.

Sorry - I rambled.

I don't think the Mormons are in any more danger of being repressed than any other liberal Christian group.
