A Mormon classmate from Emerson has a blog....his reason for why gay marriage shouldn't be? "God has a penis" Ooooookaaay,how does he know this? Was it displayed to him?

That even sounds like a reason for gay marriage to be encouraged: let those with penises unite!

Rats! We missed the kiss-in.

That would have been in the Book of Revelations, I assume.

Looks like there was a kiss-in here too, picture in today's paper. I'm sure that there will be angry letters to the editor about showing dudes kissing in a family newspaper.

Since they're already making up their religion as they go along (for example, black people are no longer spawn of Satan), you'd think the modern, image-conscious Mormons could just dictate another golden tablet saying "Gay is Okay."

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

but civil rights have nothing to do with religious principles," she said

I realize she's arguing against the church trying to restrict civil rights, but that sentiment seems to be the problem here -- most religious principles would seem, in most interpretations, to encourage *fostering* civil rights. Sigh.

Tyler Barrick, whose mother is mentioned in the article, is a friend-of-a-friend. He and his husband are currently in a battle to get their hometown papers to publish their wedding announcements (more info here). It's nice to see Tyler's family supporting them.
