Go ahead and wear a cross. One of the posters, Mike Reed, has pointed out that this aversion to the cross for LDS only came about after the turn of the century. The cross has come to be regarded as a near univeral symbol of Christianity. Its challenge is but one of a personal preference from a church leader. Perhaps it was borne out of a desire to be peculiar or a puff of anger at traditional Christianity. Either way, it is symbolism for you to decide upon.
