Abusive relationships with our churches
In a comment to this post on Pam's House Blend, I discovered a new way to think about gay adherents to a religion that believes they are denied the salvation preached by that same religion [emphasis mine]:
A lot of what is mentioned in this article is commendable, though I think a case can be made that the greater service to gay LDS members would be to treat them as battered wives in abusive relationships they can't leave--and help them to get out.
For "LDS members" one can easily substitute "Catholics", or "Muslims", or members of any number of other religions.
