Is it possible to be liberal and LDS?

[Palerider]

If we could only keep politics out of church. Sometimes a speaker or teacher gets a shot in.

I confess to having only read the OP.  However, it turns out that only 60% of LDS are true-red-conservative.  So, yes, one can be liberal and LDS.  On the other hand, only 10% identified as liberal.  Hmmm....

I'd be interested to know how many LDS members consider themselves more than 50% liberal.  I bet that number is 10% or less.

 

Each person I know who has left the Church did so as a result of an extremely liberal social issue.  That is the whole reason I asked the original question.
