Ask the LDS Church to support GLBT Rights in Utah
When leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) took a prominent role in ending marriage equality in California, I felt compelled to act.
Bruce Bastian, HRC Board Member said, "As a gay resident of Utah who grew up in a conservative Mormon family, I have seen the LDS Church divide the community and even families every day. I became active in and donated a million dollars to the "No on 8" campaign to help spread the truth in the face of a deceptive campaign funded largely by members of the LDS Church."
Bcause LDS (Mormon) leaders have been trying to deflect criticism by insisting that they're not "anti-gay" or opposed to civil unions, domestic partnerships and other LGBT rights – just marriage equality, click here to ask them to prove it.

As I wrote in a post today, I think aggressive legal measures should go forward, but I think the role of Christians is to educate and promote understanding. That can really only be achieved through heart felt dialogue, right? Am I being too wimpy?
