I have a friend who is mormon. It may be relevant that he does not live in the US. He is confused why his church took this political stance, as he says usually they stay out of political issues and he perceives the distinction between religious and civil marriage. So, he thinks that religious marriage is between a man and a woman, but there is no reason that civil marriage should be denied to people of the same sex.

Obviously, he's in the minority in the Mormon church, but he hasn't been excommunicated.

It's really hard to find a group of people who are all bad. There will generally be some exceptions floating around.
