A Thought Before Sleep

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Before signing off for the night, here’s a little comic relief from my new best friends, Margaret and Helen:
Has it occurred to anyone else that the Republican party has become the party of money, guns and sex? It seems to be the only things they think about. Who is having sex with who? [...]

Messing with God’s Perfect Creation & The Fabulous Kingdom of Gay Animals

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Re-Posted from July 2006
Asking the opinion of the executive director of Evergreen International if there is scientific basis for homosexuality is akin to asking a chicken farmer for proof eggs are bad for you.The beguiling nature of the entire article is betrayed in the first sentence “the simple ‘born gay’ theory has faded from the [...]

Jesus, Family Guy

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

In Mormonland where I live, nothing is more certain than that God loves families, eternally procreative Ward and June Cleaver clones with, as our Sutherland Institute so felicitously puts it, “a quiver full of kids.” A happily married husband and father of four myself, I too like families. What I’m having trouble understanding is where [...]

Idaho students chant ‘assassinate Obama’ on school bus

Madison County, Idaho was once dubbed "the reddest place in America" by Salon, but that didn’t make it any less shocking when elementary school children started chanting "assassinate Obama" on the school bus.

Dan Savage Takes On Tony Perkins Over Prop 8

You don’t get to march in the public square, slime people, malign people and demagogue against people and then jump behind a bush and say, no God we’re a church.

Right on!

The Mormon Church has politicized itself with this movement and — in California to ban same-sex marriage. [...]

Hottest Video in Seminary (LDS)

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Colbert actually supports the LDS Church position! (and he really ripped into some gay guy too and he was pretty serious).
He also made Ken’s argument for why 70% of African Americans voted for Prop 8.
I think he’s gonna get in trouble Colbert. Yes I do.

Save The Utah Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for Loving Mormon Families

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

It would be a good political move too.
The ACLU, along with others, filed a lawsuit in the California Supreme Court that will crush Prop. 8 and once and for all shut down the hateful social engineering that has so embarrassed loving Mormons.  (complaint here)
The press release reminds everyone that California Attorney General Jerry Brown honor [...]

Deseret News Fanning Flames of Dissension Among ‘Members’

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

I’m having trouble understanding why this LDS Church-owned newspaper would print this letter (LTE).
Is this guy really a member? And it he saying other members do not support Prop 8? Frank? Help me here.
Support or shut up
I am ashamed of the members of the LDS Church who opposed Proposition 8. [...]

Off with their heads (more on Prop 8 and the Mormon church)

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Channel 4 reports that a Nebraska man faces possible excommunication from the LDS Church for supporting same sex marriage.
Let the excommunications begin. Every now and then the church sees fit to make a very public example of a few “dissidents” in order to keep the rest of the flock scared lest the [...]

Honest Member Exposes The Corruption of LDS Argument

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

You can always count on the Deseret News to the print the stupidest letters one can imagine.

Kids need both mom and dad
It is fascinating that in the name of tolerance and love anyone not accepting the homosexual political agenda is hated and smeared. However, that doesn’t change the facts.
Marriage is, at base, a method [...]

What a field day for the Heat, a thousand people in the street (Prop 8)

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Wrapping up my day with a birthday visit with my daughter, I decided to drive up State Street and see how the protest was going. It was amazing. Traffic was barely creeping along. I could only get as far as North Temple and the police directed me to the east. But [...]

(update w/ video X2) Prop 8: DEVASTATING internal memo from the LDS Church
You can see from my previous diaries that I have been all over the issue of Mormon donations to Prop 8.  But just now, something positively devastating just fell into my lap.  And my source says there’s a lot more where this [...]
