These activists, who do not pay tithing to the LDS Church, are against Teen Sex Education and are actively working to spread FUD by teaching kids romantic feelings can result in pregnancy. They all failed Biology 101, but are zealous in their cause.
Despite the explicit request of EmilyS to not make it a discussion on Gay Marriage, Quimby, in comment 36, wants to let everyone know the LDS Church has got it wrong because she has fasted and prayed about it and has a testimony that Gay Marriage as a civil right is consistent with the teachings and example of Jesus Christ (since Jesus was a civil rights leader in his time, overthrowing the Romans so the Jews might enjoy political autonomy and freedom of religion, and given his clear and consistent practice of advocating special interest rights and endorsing non-traditional marriage, I think she has a point there).
But when RachelH comes out against Gay Marriage in comment 59, she is told to get off Gay Marriage and get on topic by EmilyS in comment 60.
Perhaps Quimby should fast and pray about the comment policies at FMH and let the faithful Mormons who go to FMH know what God's will on them is.

It guess of topic comments are only OK if you are stating opposition to a church practice? It constantly amazes me how poorly anyone who dares to have a dissenting opinion is treated over there. The elipses before the word thoughts in Emily's response are particularly classy.
Err.. "I guess off topic......"
I'm speaking caveman today.
Thanks for sharing your...thoughts on the matter. Great snark that hit the FMH mark.

Not only that put the issue of Gay Marriage was brought up in the initial post complaining about where tithing funds are being used. Does that not then open the door for the topic to be discussed. I am glad you pinpointed it, because I saw it and commented on it on my blog. Of course you get much more attention than mine does! (no complaints actually)
