Some thoughts on same sex marriages

I recently read an interesting thought on a facebook comment on same sex marriage.  The quote is: " It seems like if we tack towards [Brigham Young's] school of thought, a change in favor of gay marriage seems less probable (because gods and goddesses are procreating as they do on earth to produce spirit and psychical bodies in the hereafter, something that a gay marriage, in theory, could not). If we tack more towards [Joseph Smith's] teaching in the D&C that spirit is uncreated and co-eternal with God, like Abraham suggests God did not create us but found himself in the midst of uncreated, "inferior" spirits and helped bring us along, that removes some of the heterosexual element and seems to be more "friendly" to a gay version of that eternity."  He also talked a lot about how blacks receiving the priesthood was talked about as never happening and then in 1968 that all changed. 

We are a church with continuing revelation and that means that things do change.  However my response to his thoughts about same sex marriage is this: concerning blacks and the priesthood, polygamy, or any church policies that have changed since 1930 I don't know of any official statements made by the Presidency of the Church and the Quorum of the 12 apostles (although if you know of any, I'd be happy to know about it!!:) however, concerning same sex marriage there is one.  And it came out several years before the legalizing of same sex marriage ever became an issue. 

"Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father...
The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife." (excerpts from The Family: A Proclamation to the World)

Even if as intelligences we had no gender, our gender was created as spirits.  It is specific to our destiny and what our role is on earth.  Heavenly Father looked at us as intelligences and knew what we could become, he created us to be what we are.

When we choose to follow our true divine destinies then we are truly fulfilled.  Satan know our weaknesses and he is good at twisting ideas (like equality and discrimination) to thwart our eternal salvation.

And last of all, it is so unnatural for men to be with men and women to be with women.  If you look into the animal world, you never see it happening, so I guess that puts us even lower than the animals.

I have never had sexual relations outside of my marriage, so I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure there is nothing better than a relationship where each is true to the one and serving each other faithfully, where each partner has separate roles, but they work for the good of their union.  I've noticed that in many homosexual relationships one partner takes on the male roles and the other female roles.  I just find that so fascinating!  We do have divine roles and purposes!
