Mormons in New York
29 September 2004"What you won't find on the net are figures of how much the [LDS] Church has spent in its campaign against the legalization of gay marriages. Clearly the Church sees this institution as one force that will unravel the family structure of society, and therefore directly relevant to the lives of church members who live in that society. It's an interesting twist considering the heavy persecution the government made against polygamy in the 19th century -- you'd think the LDS Church would want the government to leave moral issues totally alone, but the Church doesn't see it that way at all: polygamy strengthened families; gay relationships don't." Brooke Shaffner meets some Mormons in New York on Mr. Beller's Neighborhood.
