> If Mormons want to oppose same sex marriage and women in leadership, that’s up to them - but don’t get upset if it’s mentioned in your obituary when you’re literally the head of the church.
I've been reading a book of Umberto Eco essays lately. I really like them. Eco manages to synthesize many different historical perspectives into some very general arguments about whichever complicated subject he's discussing.
I think that's basically what the goal of an obituary should be. It should mention this person's opposition to same-sex marriage and the ordination of women. But it should also mention other things, some of which are outlined in this article. Out of all these different perspectives, something like the truth will emerge.
