And what about other Mormons who don’t get married, or are gay. What happens to them, according to mormonism?

Mormonism is rife with contradictions.

On the one hand, the temptation is to immediately reduce those Mormons to a lower Kingdom in heaven.

The problem is that Mormons seal parents/children. And then the problem arises when a parent or child is "celestial material" -- and on the flip side a parent or child is not "celestial material." What then?

It becomes even more complicated when you realize how many generations operate like a chain -- and then you have the exact problem that families have @ the holidays...Who are they with on Thanksgiving & Christmas?

Iow, let's say you have Adam & Ann who give birth to Bruce. Bruce marries Denise, who is the daughter of Chuck & Carol. Everybody is generationally sealed...but let's say Chuck & Carol stop being temple Mormons, but Bruce & Denise still are.

And then let's say Denise's daughter Edina also drops out of temple Mormon status even though Denise & her were sealed?

You have Denise whose generations before her & after were not "celestial material." But her husband was & his parents were...so she would supposedly live with them -- and her sealings then to her parents and child meant nothing?

On your Q, I'll see if I can find anything...won't get back to you right away on that.
