George,

I saw this soon after conference. There are homosexual Mormons being attracted to the c-not-of-c. It is kind of a mystery. The only common link for them would be the Book of Mormon, but since the c-not-of-c has pretty much abandoned it, as well as all traditional scripture, there must be something else going on. I guess it must be simply heritage, the comforting feeling of something even if one doesn't believe in it.
