Perspectives on Same-Sex Marriage

This could be a very tender subject for some, but not for me! I have my opinions that are very strong on this topic because I know what the latter day prophets have said and I know the will of God for the family in these days.
Charles Reid is quoted in this chapter and I'll share the quote just because I love the verbage of the quote.
"The family is the original cell of social life. It is the natural society in which husband and wife are called to give themselves in love and in the gift of life. Authority, stability, and a life of relationships within the family constitute the foundation for freedom, security, and fraternity within society. the family is the community in which, from childhood, one can learn moral values, begin to honor God, and make good use of freedom. Family life is an initiation into life in society."
God is very specific when it comes to this subject. He has left no room for doubt, but somehow people are still defying Him. We read,
"WE, THE FIRST PRESIDENCY and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children."
So, what do we learn from this? Marriage is between one MAN and one WOMAN. That is the only way that it is ordained of God.
This chapter is great, but that's really all that needs to be said.
