		<description>Given the involvement of the Mormon Church in California&#039;s Prop 8, I think it&#039;s important to note their involvement with NARTH, as well.  

Dean Byrd, NARTH President and advocate of conversion therapy used to be with the LDS Church&#039;s Social Services, and in particular with their area of &quot;homosexual concerns.&quot;  

Here is a link with some information about Byrd:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._Dean_Byrd

When you start connecting the dots, you can see just how involved the Mormon Church is with denying and/or taking away rights for LGBTIQ folks.  Their weakness, however is they hate negative publicity, so it&#039;s time we all ramped that up - whenever and wherever we can.

Just my two cents&#039; worth.</description>

		<description>People can change.

Just yesterday I heard Dr. Laura advising a man whose wife was having an affair with another woman.

She told him to let her go.  Some people marry out of denial or hope or religious conviction or some belief that they can change.  But people are who they are and to stay married won&#039;t make either of them happy.

This, from a woman who in 2000 wrote the forward to Richard Cohen’s book &lt;i&gt;Coming Out Straight&lt;/i&gt;.

Which all goes to show, people can change.  Orientations, not so much.</description>
