Only 600? If they had any moral fiber at all they’d have walked out en masse.

another thing to keep in mind is that various forms of bigotry are part and parcel of the mormon experience its been less than 40yrs since they allowed blacks to join(i mean you could keep your seat on a bus in alabama before you could go to mormon heaven) ( blacks were lesser beings to mormons because the blackness was a curse because ham saw his father’s(noah’s) nardy parts)…. its not as if ca was forcing lds to change their view just allowed secular legal marriage (of course even w/ hetro marriage it doesnt fully count to them unless both parties are sealed members of the lds)

Hey, let’s NOT over look men and women of good faith, such as former SF 49er Star QBack and grandson of Brigham, publicly comingout against prop 8 Steve Young and family.
Remember, as the court addresses the constitutional issues, that one on one conversations change hearts.
The goal is not just the freedom to marry, but instead, that eqaul rights include the right to have our family units given equal consideration.
as said by an old married hag.

Another Triumph of human respect over the allure of protective underwear.

All decent Mormons will turn in their underwear immediately.

Beyond being, unethical,unlikely to work and cowardly, a boycott of individuals is a misdirection of pressure.

Great, if 600 people leave and talk about their experience with others it can give people cause to think to reflect for themselves.

Thanks Lisa, I do appreciate your coverage on all of this.

The DH went to college in Utah and met a family from Idao that had something approaching 18 children. The mom’s doctor finally ordered her husband to get ‘the procedure’ because his wife had had 5 miscarriages in a row and he was afraid she would die if she went through another. After the husband did it, the wife went into a deep depression and had a breakdown because she did not see herself as having any function for the Church any longer.

Think that’s a bit of a …..oh……conflicting message?

The deeply ignorant group-think that is the Mormon Church is something I escaped from 30 years ago.

I am Gay, and escaped from the clutches of the Church. Not everyone is so lucky, they pay with their lives. A member of my own congregation committed suicide in his late teens because his family and the Church refused to accept him as he was … a very flamboyant, intelligent, charismatic queen.
