SALT LAKE CITY – The Mormon church's vigorous, well-heeled support for Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California last year, has turned the Utah-based faith into a lightning rod for gay rights activism, including a nationwide "kiss-in" Saturday.

The event comes after gay couples here and in San Antonio and El Paso, Texas, were arrested, cited for trespassing or harassed by police for publicly kissing. In Utah, the July 9 trespassing incident occurred after a couple were observed by security guards on a downtown park-like plaza owned by the 13 million-member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

    • Jesus was obviously GAY.

      All that drama when Peter denied knowing him...

      Not to mention that night he was on his knees in the park washing men's feet with his skirt hitched up around his waist.

      "Take, Eat, This is my Body"
      That's what he used to tell all the guys, until he met John The Beloved.

      And he DID kiss Judas before hanging out with Thaddeus.

      "I am a Fisher of Men," he would say gaily.

      "Come, Follow Me"

      "I have the Perfect Body and I can turn Water into Wine!"

      "This Loaf in your face, Eat it, it's really Fish! It turns into my flesh when you put it in your mouth."

      "My soul-mate is a prostitute named Mary, just like Mum!"

      "It isn't that which goes into a man that makes him unclean, it's what comes out of him!"

      Anyone who thinks Jesus wasn't gay, has never known a gay man.

    • Hi. I don't think there is any gay bashing or hating as part of the campaign, but there is concern about what can happen if gay marriage becomes institutionalized. Knowing the history of these kinds of things here in the US, it seems like once gays would have marriage, there'd be a non-stop attack on anyone who didn't carefully qualify any comments about marriage to include gays.

    • In spite of the fact that I am a member of the LDS church I don't agree with their stand on gay marriage. I think their efforts would be best used to preserve Capitalism.

      I saw enough gay bashing, persecution, imprisonment and killing, to last me a lifetime. I say let the gays get married! They have nothing to do with the present state of the institution of marriage.
