I Would Confine Them To Their Own Species

For anyone interested, this is a great paper that was presented by Connell at Sunstone West on the "LDS historical prohibitions against marriage between white people and black people, with LDS current prohibitions against same-sex marriage as the framing context."

“I would confine them to their own species”
LDS Historical Rhetoric & Praxis
Regarding Marriage Between Whites and Blacks


It's a big ass read but totally worth it.

Oh, thank you so much for posting this! Lately my facebook page has been sadly lacking in pro-gay marriage links that will make my Mormon friends squirm (admittedly, that's half the reason I post them).
