All of this kind of thinking falls so fortuitously into the lap of the LDS church.

The Proclamation on the Family says:

We warn that individuals who violate *covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.

We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.

*specifically, these violations are whenever LGBTQ people do things the biggoted Mormons church doesn't approve of, like legally getting married.

The Proclamation also says:

Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

I was talking to a doctor the other day who told me the births at the Utah hospital with which he is affiliated about 1 in 700 are intersex, meaning that their genitals are neither typically male or female. When you include the births of people who are genetically intersex (XXY, X, XO, XXX, XYY, XXXY, XXXXY, XXXX, 45,X/46XX, 45,X/46,XY) the number comes to 1-2% of the entire population. Statistically speaking, several people in your ward are intersex.

The church boasts a membership of 17 million. That means about a quarter of a million Latter-Day Saints, by no choice of their own, do not fit into God's plan that "Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose." Are these people just throwaways with no place in God's oneandonlytruechurch?
