cowboy,

what about the Mormons who “only” want gays to be second class citizens? How many of those type are included in the whole of the Mormon Church? Are these with the “crazies” or are they “regular” folk?

Emily, we have to be careful of using “all” (and that’s why you used quotation marks). We have radical Mormons who go off script and can take a life of their own. Much like there are various groups of Catholics and groups of Jews who are, shall we say, unorthodox or even ultra-orthodox. There are some very radical Mormons. I’m living in the midst of some of them. Kind of scary sometimes. Some Mormons think there is a divine providence where Mormons will save the Constitution.

Sometimes we have to speak about the “agendas”…by us, by Catholics, by Jews. I have to separate the formal LDS Church with some of the more fundamental Saints. They are driven by a whole different agenda. Some might term them as the “crazies”. Those are the ones we must be vigilant against. They not only don’t want gays to marry they would be happy if we would be afforded a special anti-gay amendment to the U.S. Constitution. But, I don’t box these crazies with the rest of the Mormons.

The LDS Church does have a very effective phone-tree mechanism. They can organize a mob of volunteers with just one texting from the ubiquitous PDAs.

However, I do not think there is a formal agenda for Mormons to take control of the world. (Apart from the students who graduate from BYU’s Master of Accountancy…THAT’s a group you have to keep an eye on.)

TampaZeke,

OR you’re more turned on by poorly done cheesecake art with little attention paid to rendering or anatomy than by something.. well.. something good. More likely you’re not sophisticated enough to know when something’s of quality.

I think a fabulous cape with gold embroidery is de rigueur with red Prada slippers

In NorthCarolina when the “prophet” sent out a “required” ” here is your weekly anti-gay letter to follow” reading to be held before the start of services, the old ladies in the “branch” were up in arms when the church leader read it. The church leader and I had just finished a 14 hour long marathon of semi truck repairs. As I was totally out and attending church regularly in both the “brotherhood” meetings and the “sisterhood” meetings since I handled all the cooking, cleaning, house management duties of our farm. The older ladies were calling on their cell phones and giving “saltLake” hell on earth. They loved their “Sister Joey”. The priesthood guys were not knowing what to do, but did back me up well with good comments on my ability to repair farm equipment and semi trucks. Don’t sell the individuality of the faithful short! They have voices and use them.

Took a second look with the assumption that it was cliche, boring and for the most part lazily done…STILL think he’s hot.

I guess I’m just not sophisticated enough to know what’s really hot. ;)

Is there going to be any counter protest from LGBT people / secualrists / those who are victims of the catholic church (and hopefully, victims of the catholic church sponsored galtieri regime?)).

There needs to be a rainbow alliance of protesters – like the one awaiting the Pope when he visits England in September.

Do not let such a demonstration without an answer. Get on the streets, fight for your rights, and be heard.
