I've been digesting what Packer said for a few days now. I have three brief insights I'd like to share with you.
1st. He never actually says homosexual, now does he? This is great news for future Mormon apologists. Heck, it's good news for
2nd. “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” isn't canonized and Apostles don't get to canonize whatever they want. Not even the President of the quorum can do that. Even if he super-duper wants to. I wonder what his boss thinks of the obvious overreach. Can a breach of etiquette be blamed on a moment of religious fervor? Can it be excused by the same?
3rd. This is for anyone who thought that Conference was good except for Packer's talk:
ps. Should you care to read a bit more of Packer's teachings checkout this BYU link.
My favorite quote: "We've always counseled in the Church for our Mexican members to marry Mexicans, our Japanese members to marry Japanese, our Caucasians to marry Caucasians, our Polynesian members to marry Polynesians. The counsel has been wise."
Take that, apologists.

One of the great issues that I have with the pamphlet “To Young Men Only” is the fact that not once is the male genitalia referred to as a penis. (Look it up for yourself) Show me a parent that is open and honest with a child about his or her body, in its proper name and form, and I’ll show you a child that grows up to respect their body [TEMPLE] by not feeling they need to defile it in any respect.
I’ve always wondered why the LDS church has never made any corrections to that critical flaw in its own doctrinal teachings.
I think and feel that it’s important in a child’s development to be honest with them about the names of all the parts of their body. It should be a joy to explore that fact with a child and tell them it’s a sacred ‘House of the Lord’, and not to defile it in any way. There is nothing wrong with a penis, scrotum, breasts, vagina, clitoris or other body part. Why instill shame in a child if we expect and want them to grow up confident and healthy about their lives, for all of their lives and not just childhood?
It’s a no wonder that many members of the LDS church, just as much as non-members have a serious issue with this fact. Just look up some of the pictures in Google or Yahoo under “Little Factory” and see what people are saying about this issue. A picture says a thousand words. And I happen to agree with many of the insights people around the world have on this matter.
Little Factory indeed.
