Dear Editor, In light of the recent article, "Why religions should support same-sex marriage," I thought it appropriate to clarify LDS doctrine and policies in regards to your statements which were quite confrontational.

To the editor: I read your article titled, Why religion should support same-sex marriage, in the opinion section of The Forum. Because it is an opinion page, I respect that you were able to share your thoughts. The majority of your article was aimed at the LDS Church.
