In its early days,[when?] the LDS Church was not a staunch critic of same-sex relationships.[17] The state of Utah did not have a sodomy law until it was imposed on the state by the U.S. federal government.[18][19][20] Nonetheless, church leaders have encouraged young male Latter-day Saints to defend themselves, physically if necessary, against sexual assaults by other men. In October 1976, LDS Church apostle Boyd K. Packer gave a sermon entitled "To Young Men Only".[21][22] The sermon was later published as a pamphlet and was widely circulated to LDS young men. Openly gay[23] historian D. Michael Quinn criticized Packer's comments, saying they constituted an endorsement of gay bashing, and he also claimed that the church itself endorses such behavior by continuing to publish Packer's speech.[24]
On July 5, 2015, the LDS Church issued an official statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage and to clarify its official position of non-violence to the LGBT community:[25]
The gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us to love and treat all people with kindness and civility—even when we disagree. We affirm that those who avail themselves of laws or court rulings authorizing same-sex marriage should not be treated disrespectfully. Indeed, the Church has advocated for rights of same-sex couples in matters of hospitalization and medical care, fair housing and employment, and probate, so long as these do not infringe on the integrity of the traditional family or the constitutional rights of churches.
Great work! Very detailed and patient.. I had a denture flipper made in calgary and the place did a horrible job even after going back a couple times.. So I visited Luke here and he fixed the flipper up so you can't even tell there is a fake tooth! Defiantly recommend!
Thanks
