I had a weird dream last night. Basically my father came proclaimed that he was giving up Mormonism... all I could think was "You're a mormon?"
Either way, just because a few people in a religion are bigots, doesn't make everyone in the religion a bigot. Just because these few people in the religion are leaders of the religion, doesn't mean anything; every leader of a religion is a bigot... it's how they became leaders, through polarizing words and charisma. For that matter, everyone who is Muslim is a terrorist, everyone who is Christian is a Nazi, and every Jew killed Jesus Christ.
That being said, there must be a semblance of reality. As a leader of your religion/sect/organization, EVERYTHING you do is reflective of your organization. Hell, the same thing goes for being a MEMBER. If you're Muslim, and a terrorist, and claiming to do terroristic acts in the name of Moslem, its only natural that people who know of you, will relate Muslims to terrorism. So if you're Mormon, and a gay-bashing bigot, and giving millions of dollars to fund gay-bashing groups in the name of Mormonism...
