Tolerance is LOVE

Is anyone else as sad as I am about people being so upset with the church and its stand on Prop 8??? It crushes me to see some of our own members against our prophet which is essentially against God. We are not bigots, we do believe that gays deserve rights and they do have them...we just believe in protecting marriage, our families, and our future. The same way you feel like protecting your right to be married. And we each have the right in doing that with out blame.

Tolerance obviously requires a non-contentious manner of relating toward one another’s differences. But tolerance does not require abandoning one’s standards or one’s opinions on political or public policy choices. Tolerance is a way of reacting to diversity, not a command to insulate it from examination
-Elder Dallin H. Oaks

The Savior taught a much higher concept, that of love. “Love thy neighbor,” He admonished. ^[13] Jesus loved the sinner even while decrying the sin, as evidenced in the case of the woman taken in adultery: treating her kindly, but exhorting her to “sin no more. "Love the sinner not the sin."

Tolerance as a gospel principle means love and forgiveness of one another, not “tolerating” transgression.
In today’s secular world, the idea of tolerance has come to mean something entirely different. Instead of love, it has come to mean condone – acceptance of wrongful behavior as the price of friendship. Jesus taught that we love and care for one another without condoning transgression. But today’s politically palatable definition insists that unless one accepts the sin he does not tolerate the sinner.

Please be "tolerant" of me and what I believe and I will be "tolerant" of you and what you believe. And please don't be mad or blame the church for doing what "it" felt right in doing. The church loves you and so do I.
