Now, first off I agree with you. It is only a matter of time for the majority of members to accept marriage is for anyone and everyone. I believe that whole heartedly.
Though, I love to play “devils advocate”; that said what if a majority of the members wants everyone to receive the blessing of marriage that the 15 men at head of the Church ask the Lord in honesty and faith and the Lord answers that it’s ok to be lgbtq but it is not ok for marriage and that is final. Sort of like when The Lord kept telling Joesph Smith not to share what soon became the lost pages of the Book of Mormon.
If The Lord gives such an answer is that something you’ll stand behind or should the heads of the Church keep going back every so often?
Remember I believe and hope and have the similar faith as you that The Lord will and does bless all His children and would not withhold blessing when they are sought out.
G,
Would you mind emailing us the question? It’s just easier for us to keep track of the questions that way.
