1st Presidency letter against gay marriage in Argentina

English text of First Presidency letter

6 July 2010

For: Area Seventies, stake presidents, district presidents and mission presidents, bishops, branch presidents and Buenos Aires, Argentina, area president

Dear Brothers,

Strengthening the Family

Concerns have been raised regarding the proposed legislation which would change the definition of marriage in Argentina. The doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is absolutely clear: Marriage is between a man and a woman and is ordained of God. We recommend that together as families you review The Family: A Proclamation to the World to understand more fully the doctrine of the church in regards to this topic.

Sincerely,

The First Presidency

Thomas S. Monson

Henry B. Eyring

Dieter F. Uchtdorf
