They are very creative in how they approach this hot topic issue, in that they engage in service oriented activities in communities typically opposed to equal rights to foster thought and change for LGBT equality. A friend of mine told me about it and I thought it was a great, positive approach to the issue. We had so much fun at the last event and it was great to give back to the community. Plus it was great to converse with others on the other side of the table in a way that wasn't confrontational. Anyway, this can be such a heated issue and I thought this was a unique approach.

I completely support the gay community but now I don't know how much I want to. I love my gay best friends. I have so much disappointment to you guys. I am not happy about Obama winning either but the mormons aren't the only ones against gay marriages catholics don't believe in it either. You guys are showing such discrimination to your own kind and if there is a chance for a community to vote for gay marriages they aren't now for your vandalism. You want to go get married go to Massachusetts they except it or go to Canada. But nothing will change with your with you immature acts against churches or temples. I myself am not mormon and don't believe what they do but they have their own beliefs just as you do. My family is all mormon and they all voted Macain. Sorry he didn't win but your indangering lots of people with your foolish acts. You should be showing kindness cause this shit isn't going to get you anywhere and people will make sure you can't ever get married with these acts. Grow up. I am pregnant you think I am happy about abortions no I am not. That is evil and you guys aren't being much better. There are billions people in the world and some don't have religions they are just homophobic. So maybe you guys should think. I have gay uncles who went and got married somewhere they could do the same. I am so disappointed and don't know how much I want to support you and more and I know hundreds of other people who do too. You are now terrorists in my eyes. And your causing so many people not to want to help you guys anymore. Oh yeah and half of the clinics and the studies or HIV and AIDS is thanks to the LDS church. Maybe they should turn you guys down if your infected with it. They aren't against you they just believe in different sex marriages. Well I am going to express something.

I am tired of seeing video of the elderly woman carrying a cross being roughed-up. Please, let all these protests be peaceful.
