We Owe Charity to Those of Same-Sex Affection

   Going along with what I just posted, I think the following: It would be wonderful if Utah were the most loving of states toward those of same-sex affection, if no place in the country treated them better.
   After all, this is charity, loving people unconditionally. Charity is the pure love of Christ and the LDS who make up much of Utah consider themselves the people of Christ. Others in this state also consider themselves the people of Christ.
   So, let us love those of same sex affection. This doesn't mean we have to give them marriage rights, perhaps, nor to think, say or suppose that what they do is right. But, it does mean we exude love, and care and desire happiness and for good fortune toward those of same sex. It means we should smile with joy when we greet them, being genuinely happy to converse with them. It means we should accept them. It means we should make them comfortable.
    This is charity. And, if we have not charity, we are nothing.
