Members of the homophobic Mormon church aren't moral authorities. Kyle Ogden & Thanksgiving Square need to shut up.
I is time to call out those who think anti-Gay bigots can be moral voices.

I am going to repeat this from the post about Joshua Whitfield.
What is involved here is a subtle and pernicious trashing of Gay rights and the humanity of homosexuals.
Being a member of a homophobic organization, in this case one that globally oppresses homosexuals, should disqualify a person from being a moral commentator.
A person who is a member of a homophobic religion which has been a major force in inflaming prejudice against homosexuals should certainly not be considered a commentator on the “moral middle.”
If a person was a member of a racist or anti-Semitic organization, they certainly wouldn’t be considered a moral voice on society. A pastor for a Christian Identity church, a church which calls non-white people, “mud people,” wouldn’t be considered a moral voice in society.
Yet, a priest of the Roman Catholic church which says homosexuality is a sin is considered a moral voice.
Let there be no rationalization in saying that this priest or that priest isn’t homophobic or is trying to change the church from the inside. Would we accept that as an excuse from a Klan member or a Nazi?
If your religion is homophobic it is a stupid religion and if you are a member, let alone holding a position, of that religion you have made it clear how important the humanity of the Gays are, that is to say you see it as trivial or nothing.
We as Gays should always see our humanity as important.
Members of homophobic religions are not moral voices.
The Mormon Church is a particularly pernicious homophobic menace since they do it with all smiles.
Thanksgiving Square is a problem and secretive about the religious backgrounds of the board of directors of this religious group.
The Dallas Morning News continues to promote homophobes as moral authorities.
The Joshua Whitfield of St. Ritas article
This is the article from where I recycled the commentary. It is basically the same thing.
Liberal homophobia is the most pernicious.
