Recovering Our Honor

Hellmut, November 1, 2008October 1, 2011

Thank you, Barbara Young. Mormons owe you:

I am very passionate about this issue and Steve is completely supportive of me and my work for eqaulity,” Barbara Young said in a statement to the Mercury News after midnight. “We both love our Church and are grateful that our Church encourages us to vote our conscience.
