Not only is the UK extremely secular, but I can't imagine there's any sizeable population there, considering that Mormonism began in the United States and to my very, very shallow knowledge of it, the Church of LDS holds that Jesus' second coming will take place in the USA. Also, anti-gay legislation always strikes me in a poor way, mostly because of Clause 28 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_28), which took an embarrassingly long time (read: near the end of the Blair years) to repeal. It's not even a harmful law, anyway. I can possibly understand (though heavily disagree with, except in an anti-assimilationist queer way) opposing something like Proposition 8 from a religious standpoint, but an anti-discrimination law? Really? The concept of Mormonism in the United Kingdom baffles me a bit.
