Latter-Day Saints want Current-Gay Ban

Picture 39-2The Mormon church is encouraging their California contingent to dedicate "means and time" to pass a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage:

LDS Church backs marriage measure on California ballot [Deseret News]

For the "time" part, the California Mormons will have to carve out some hours in their day to dedicate to the cause. For the "means," however? Well, such bitterness is already built into this cruel, unjust, dehumanizing endeavor.

Your thoughts

They will have to hurry. Here in California the 'race is on.' This from 365 News.
(Los Angeles, California) A week after same-sex marriage became legal in California, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa officiated at his first gay marriage despite a protest from a conservative Christian activist.

Villaraigosa married Academy Award-winning filmmaker Bruce Cohen and Gabriel Catone, an art consultant, at City Hall.

Cohen won an Oscar for "American Beauty."

Villaraigosa is well behind San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom who has performed six unions over the past week, but Villaraigosa says he intends to catch up and vowed to surpass Newsom.

The ceremony was disturbed by a protester, but....
Cohen and Catone laughed off the protest. "It doesn't spoil our day. It doesn't take away our joy. And it certainly doesn't change the fact that we are legally married in the state of California, by the mayor of Los Angeles," Cohen told the Los Angeles Daily News.

Let the summer Wedding Bells just keep on RINGING!
