When it's all said and done, the only reason Mormon Leadership can continue to mistreat and disrespect its LGBTQ members, is because enough Latter-Day saints on the ground and out in the pews tolerate it.
I don't expect much from LDS leadership at this point, so rather than being put off by things like Oaks' recent conference talk, or this impending excommunication, I have much more energy on questioning why garden variety, run-of-the-mill Mormons are ok with it.
