Letter: If the Mormon church can change its mind on polygamy, there’s room for change on LGBT issues

When LDS President Robert S. Monson declared that same-sex couples were apostates and their children could not be blessed or baptized, he said that it was the mind of the Lord and the will of the Lord and the “Brethren” all said that they felt the confirmation of the spirit. Can they reverse the mind and the will of the Lord?

Joseph Smith started polygamy as being from God. He told his wife, Emma, that if she did not support him in this she would be destroyed! Doctrine and Covenants 132:54. Destroyed??! Later it has been changed again to one man and one woman.
