This is kind of like saying "all Catholics oppose homosexuality and birth control" or "Islam is inherently evil". It ain't true. Just because the church's party line is one thing does not mean that individual members buy into every last detail. I have cousins who are Mormon. One of them is a young man currently doing his mission trip. As far as I know, he has no problem with homosexuality and isn't even aggressively converting people. In his opinion, he is out there spreading a message which he believes to be capable of bringing people happiness. Now, I do not agree with that message, but I think it's safe to say his intentions are pure and unoffensive. Be careful of conflating the church as an organization with the people who belong to it.
