Good for them. I'm glad to see other gay Americans stand up for their rights. this is NOT nazi germany as much as those hateful right wing mormons would have us believe.

I think we should all be caring and concerned and show pity for the gays and stand up for the under dog (GLBTQ), that includes all you in the majority group should be involved in helping them. Stand up for the gays and stop the hatred from spreading down into our ignorant and impressionable youth that say "It's not natural. It's against Jesus" My response is Shut the H up. Divorce and gluttony isn't natural and is completely against Jesus, so shut your trap and go along your way and be as nice to others as possible. Am I right or what?

They're trying to make a point. If you were denied your rights, you would be too.

That may be true here in the US however not in history, there is a precedent for gay marriage in history, just not here in the homophobic US of A.

whether gay or straight why would you disrupt church activities with a kiss in.
the in the face politics of the gay community leaders is hurting the gay community very much.

Read up on what the Mormon church puts their members through when it comes out that they are gay. Its brutal, abusive and should be illegal. I can see where the gay community would have a problem specifically with the Mormon church. At least the church I grew up in just drives gay people out of the community by the open dissapproval, they don't lock them in mental facilities and torture them.

The Mormon church is reaping what they have sown on this one.
