Gay Mormons to church: Don't fight California court ruling
The church has expressed disappointment in the May 15 ruling. Some critics want to overturn it through a constitutional amendment.
In a statement Wednesday, leaders of the gay group Affirmation are asking The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints not to meddle in politics that harms gay families.
Instead, the group wants Mormon leaders to help people who are hurt by the church's teaching that homosexuality is a sin.
The church believes God only sanctions marriage between a man and a woman. In 2000, it actively supported a California ballot measure similar to that stance.
