I would not be surprised though if there is resentment among Evangelical leaders because the Mormon effort highlights their embarrassing failure to get anything done. On FLAK, there is one report of a stake president who has canceled the street campaigning to stop alienating his Evangelical partners. May be, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Actions determine reputation. The LDS Church has seriously damaged its reputation with its recent focus on fighting gay marriage. I'm very sorry to see this. It's divisive and helps no one.

I think only then will people be able to start thinking for themselves instead of letting a bunch of old white men dictate their lives and turn them into bigots for all to scorn.

The thing is, it will only forestall the inevitable, and will bring yet another thing that the leaders have to explain later on. Oh well. With a little luck, I'll live long enough to see it try to wriggle out another pseudorevelation to go alongside the 1978 race/priesthood revelation. It will be fun to see what the future holds. Wow.
