President Thomas Monson's closing remarks in last October's LDS General Conference admonished us all to "stand up for what you believe in."
The tone of today's church press conference was very Christ-like in terms of love and compassion towards our LGBT brothers and sisters. I question its timing, however, as the U.S. Supreme Court is just now gearing up to rule on same-sex marriage nationwide. The LGBT got the same kind of compassionate endorsement from the church just prior to the vote that allowed openly homosexual boys into the Boy Scouts of America. We may well hear Elder Uchtdorf in a future General Conference admit that "we made a mistake" again like they did with the Boy Scouts.
