2012 SLC gay pride parade
300+ church members marched in support. DN covered it.

I find stories like that confusing. So, Des News--everything was happy and touching, and isn't it natural for LDS people to participate in such a loving way? Is this a PR message? I just don't follow. We love and support the gay community, we just happen to think they should live solitary, celibate lives? We support gay rights, so long as it's totally separate from traditional marriage? If gay people aren't supposed to couple in ways that men and women do through marriage (it's a sin!), then who would be entitled to those rights anyway? Or is that sinners are still entitled to equal legal rights?

I don't really get the tone of the article either. I need to know if this is something that mullahs are supposed to be angry about or not.

I think the problem is that the position really is evolving. It would have been interesting if the story like this had been written at a time in which Prop 8 was the subject of so much campaigning.
I think there may be some issue like that coming up in Maryland, as in a move to repeal the legislative legalization of gay marriage. |

300-plus, eh? Wow. How many Mormons live in SLC?

We really need a drug gay people can take if they want to be straight.

By the way, don't you think this is good for church PR? Mormons marching --> Church apparently softening its stance on homosexuality.
And the Church doesn't have to say a single thing, so mullahs won't fume.
