HASTINGS, Neb. (ABC 4 News) - Andrew Callahan is a member of the LDS Church but he thinks not for much longer. Callahan has been speaking out against a gay marriage ban on the California ballot and Callahan now faces excommunication.
He says, "We're just wrong and we need to change that and I'm not going to stop when they excommunicate me and I am not going to apologize and beg them to keep me a member of the church."
And in his likely last few hours as a Mormon, Callahan wishes that...
"..Thomas S. Monson would stand up bravely - like Spencer W. Kimball did in the past - and say enough is enough."

It's a shame your leader is so weak he can't stand the light of day!
But such are the ways of cults!
It's a shame he can't offer the same to others.
Why does he have the right to offend others but no one has the right to offend him?
(can you say hypocrit?)
I can't wait for the day when the religions start to sue each other.
Afterall, there are religious entities which disagree!
And the constitution grants ALL religions the same rights in our country.
But that isn't a surprise.
