Practicing Mormons march during a gay pride parade in Salt Lake City, Utah, June 3, 2012. Over 300 active Mormons and more than 5,000 members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) community with their supporters marched in the parade as part of the Utah Pride Festival.

She says gay pride festival organizers welcomed her with open arms when she request to march.
"What we're trying to do is say we welcome you. We want you to be part of our congregation. We want you to feel safe in our pews," Munson said.
She is also sending a clear message to other Latter-day Saints. "We want people in wards all over the world to see us and say these folks are just like me," said Munson.
You better believe the Mormons are in favor!!!!
God, I hate these people. I want to puke.
Mental illness on parade.
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect.
The ‘christians’ are allowing the homosexuals to renew their minds... pretty sad!
NATURALLY, y'all by insinuation if not by outright accusation, necessarily intend for this to reflect poorly on Mittens and his religion....in an effort to what?
...convince us that we should stay home or write in someone eles' name come November?
Nice try!
When you come up with something like this or one of you dares respon in kind, then let me know and I just MIGHT reconsider voting AGAINST Dear Leader:
Mmmm, lets see now, who is more of a "threat" to the safety and security of the United States among these 2?
And of these 2, which is more dangerous to our survival?
I especially welcome comments from those who (claim) that Mittens is 10 times worst than Dear Leader and thus, we shold all stay home or vote for someone else come November.
How's about any of you who have been disparaging the Mormon Religion (and no, I'm Catholic and thus do not necessarily support what Mormons advocate) provide ANYTING printed or advanced by Mormons which is even close to what many Muslims and specifically, the Muslim Brotherhood (which Obama supports and defends) do?
The Muslim Brotherhood Creed: “Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”
The Muslim Brotherhood Agenda as outlined in 1991 in Phildelphia:
The process of settlement [of Islam in the United States] is a "Civilization-Jihadist" process with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" their miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who choose to slack.
Though we are all aware of Obama's proclivity towards appeasing Islam and Islamic Republics; his negotiating with our enemies (Taliban); his release of captured Terrorists; his support of the "Arab Spring" in the ME which has led to the takeover of those countries by Radical Islamists; etc, many are not aware of what he has done to facilitate their (Islamists) acceptance and appointment to positions of "trust" within our own Government
Here are but 6 of those individuals:
Considering that some Freepers have framed their arguments that voting for Romney would be not only NOT “Patriotic,” but worst, “Not Christian,” perhaps they should stop and consider what we face with another 4 years of a Regime under Obama would mean and his facilitating “Stealth Jihad” and the Islamization of America.
Islam is a frontal attack on Christianity and Judaism and its time we understood this threat and called it what it is. We are not in a “war on terror”, which so many politically correct politicians would have us believe.
The whole world is, and has been for 1,400 years, in a WAR AGAINST ISLAM! If we do not stand up against this cancerous enemy, whose ultimate goal is to bring the entire world into submission to Islam and have all people worship none but Allah, then Western Civilization and human freedom as we know it will soon cease to exist.
America faces in addition to the threat of violent jihad another, even more toxic danger – a stealthy and pre-violent form of warfare aimed at destroying our constitutional form of democratic government and free society. The Muslim Brotherhood is the prime-mover behind this seditious campaign, which it calls “civilization jihad.”
For a detailed description of who these individuals pictured above are, their goals and what damage they have done and the real threat they pose, see the following:
Muslim Brotherhood in America Part 8: Team Obama and the Islamists
IF after viewing this video, one does not come away with the resolve to do whatever it takes to defeat Barack Hussein Obama, then I worry about the future of our Great Republic.
PS: One should at least bookmark this most enlightening, informative, well researched and documented 10-part Series by Frank Gaffney (Muslim Brotherhood in America) and watch all of it as soon as time permits.
I am SICK of having to vote for the lesser of two evils! In this case, I’m having a heard time deciding which is the lesser. America is dead no matter which one wins in November.
Here’s another comfortless thought—we will again in this election not have a christian conservative in the White House. The militant gays and lesbos are an immoral cancer on our society. Look at that little girl with the rainbow flag—her little influential mind being corrupted by the wicked. God help us in this nation.
Obamney/Rombama, what's the difference. None.
Exactly. Thank you for the bright line in the sand. And if you get the kind of responses I get then you will be scorned as too new to know; not conservative; not Christian; a leftist in disguise-—aka troll; and add any additional nasty thing that might pop into your mind.
For whatever sick reason, conservatives shoot their own.
did you bother to read post #7?
Absolutely disgusting. The colors of the rainbow used to glorify homo anal sex. Children confused and mesmerized by the flamboyance and near-naked bodies preening about, told it is all normal and FABULOUS! God damn the LDS for permitting this despicable "outreach" and even likely WELCOMING it.
Have fun voting for no one then since your demand of a conservative Christian as a candidate (for any office) are hard to find (let alone vett). Maybe if you live in Allen West’s district but then....
I hope you are working hard for conservative candidates all over the country since the hOuse and the Senate are part of the solution.
I hope your rant made you feel better

Bravo!!! I completely agree with you!
Yes - and???
This child whose “keepers”(I won’t call them parents)took her to the parade looks frightened to me.
There are two issues arising from your post. Firstly, are the Mormons themselves queers? Or are they supporting the queers/sodomy?
Secondly, does the LDS church have the authority to control/penalize members supporting queers/sodomy if they merely support but do not participate?
Any LDS experts know the answers?
Sexual deviancy is chic during these days of the decline of America’s greatness. Everybody wants to be a homo in order to impress their “friends” as America goes in the toilet.
How in the hell does a REAL man explain this garbage to his grandsons?
The damn corrupt libs, treasonist sick f . . . . s, have destroyed this once great country....
I’ve had it, this is no longer my country, this is just the place I am stuck in.
When I was a little guy my grandfather used to take me to a parades, there were horses, Cowboys, Indians, clowns, old cars, military, our flag, free candy and on and on. It was a fun show, not a fracking freak show being presented as normal.
Look at those photos, THAT is a disgrace... THAT is also what the rest of the world now sees as America, THAT is what they are now seeing our military turn into.
My grandfather lied about his age to join in the fighting for our country in WWII. He was in the Navy for 20 years. THIS IS NOT THE AMERICA he fought for or the America his buddies died for.
I would be willing to fight to get her back, but I think she is already dead.
then I worry for you. Do you seriously contend that Obama and his passion for the Muslim Brotherhood and all things Muslim are some how less of an evil and a threat to the US than Mitt Romney????
This is for the greater cause of Mormon pologamy.
Romney: Islam Is a Peace-Loving Religion
http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/Romney-Muslims-PeaceLoving-Religion/2011/12/10/id/420537
The lesser of two evils is.....EVIL.
I might understand the intent of your post if it were on some other thread and in reaction to an anti Romney article.... but it’s not.
So I am left wondering if you are defending the queer loving mormons, just the mormons or if you’re a faggot.
Do you like Gladiator movies?
Color me not particularly impressed by what some here are considering this overwhelming support by LDS of the “Pride Festival”.
Don’t forget for one minute that the LDS has had a bull’s eye on their backs for supporting Prop 8. Don’t forget that the abortion and homosexual lobby will do the same sort of thing to anyone who opposes their agenda. How many supposedly pro-gay Evangelical Christians and Catholics can and have been dug up for such events in other cities?
Hey there, I'm one of those not-voting-for-Willard FReepers that you think are "unenlightened".
I'm sick of self-identified Conservatives trying to scare people into voting for a homo-agenda-coddling, gun grabbing, abortionist, nanny stater, illegal-lovin, souless and conscienceless fraud. Its quite simple: there is little difference in the way that Willard and Hussein would behave and what they would push. The difference is a Congress who resists and deadlocks vs one that enables. Your links won't scare me into betraying my soul just to keep a fag-friendly GOP afloat buddy. I know all about Hussein as did most here about 4 years ago. The U.S. is a lot more resiliant than you give her credit for. I would rather have a shot at a real Conservative in 2016 than have the [R] party permanently moved light years to the left this time by voting for the sh*ttiest sandwich served to date as a candidate. I am not going to be played this time, but you go ahead and support the permanent marginlization of Conservatives voices within the party
Have at it.
No one is stopping you or anyone else from voting for whomever you want to.
All I'm arguing (AS A VIETNAM VET, A CHRISTIAN AND A PATRIOT, WHO LOVES HIS COUNTRY MORE THAN LIFE)....
...is that notwithstaning all the moral/social issues which appear to take precedent over the safety and survival of our Republic (and which ARE important and we should continue to FIGHT for/against which ever ones are being eroded or foisted upon us)....
....the FACT remains that NONE of you to date, has been able to produce ONE IOTA/SCINTILLA of evidence, which in ANY WAY, SHAPE or FORM....
...would lead one to believe that Mittens has EVER said or DONE anything which is inimical to the safety or disparaged our Republic or has acted in a manner which one could interpret he would INTENTIONALLY and ACTIVELY work to "harm"--if not DESTROY our Country....which we know (and I am trying to remind all....) that our FASCIST, NEO-COMMIE, ISLAMIC-MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD-APPEASING/DEFENDING/SUPPORTING, Dear Leader has, and continues to do.
Sorry, I've got too much invested in my country to "chance" it being allowed to being "subverted" from within....and in this instance, based upon what I KNOW, our SAFETY/SECURITY/SURVIVAL, trumps all else!Q
Don't know if you (or others here who agree with you) ever served; I DID....
And NOT that, that makes me special or superior...I'm just one of Millions...
It is just that WHEN I took the "Oath" (TO DEFEND AGAINST ALL ENEMIES--FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC--) it was forever (A LIFETIME) and not just for the 8 years I served.
Thus I will continue to do so to the best of my ability to my dying breath!!!
“God damn the LDS for permitting this despicable “outreach” and even likely WELCOMING it.”
The LDS didn’t permit it or welcome it.
The march is in Salt Lake City, which votes democrat and comprises only a small part of the metro area, and probably has only a minority of voters that are LDS.

Think along this line: Salt Lake City is to Utah as Austin is to Texas.
The LDS church has been criticized for being anti-gay, recently surrounding the Prop.8 measure in California.

Well, WHOOP-DE-FREEKING-DOO!
Five years ago, Romney might have mispoken or he may have been serious.
AND, how does that make him 10 times worst that "he" who never met an abotion he didn't like or supported INFANTICIDE (moved to block vote on Infant Born Alive Bill) as a Illinois Senator or supports Gay Marriage?
MOREOVER, as I apparently have to keep repeating, while Social Issues ARE important, HOW is this position of Romney's (if in fact it is) a THREAT to our SECURITY AND SURVIVAL????
Sorry, it looks like its back to the drawing board and try a little harder next time.
Or maybe, like liberals, you just hate the people who stay true to traditional values?
“NATURALLY, y’all by insinuation if not by outright accusation, necessarily intend for this to reflect poorly on Mittens and his religion....in an effort to what?”
I must be really slow. Romney didn’t even cross my mind when reading this post. I took it as perverts and people of “faith” trying to be pc and inclusive. I’ve got an extra roll of tin foil if you need some.
You’re right.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ support of Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California, created deep divides between Mormons and the gay community. But LGBT advocates say it also started a conversation.
“A conversation about how we can avoid inflicting that kind of harm on human beings again,” said Valerie Larabee, the executive director of the Utah Pride Center.
Not in agreement with Mormonism, but these posers were NOT real Mormons; they were more on the order of the fake Catholic liberal groups like Dignity. I’d be curious to know what the main church hierarchy says about this.

Rom 1:22-32
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Same Ol’.
The Quisling in the White Hut’s closet Islamofascism is hardly a reason to facilitate the homosexual agenda by propping up Bishop Romney’s Kolobian/Deseretian State-religious fraud.
ESAD - if you do, you will.
NO SALE.
[I’d be curious to know what the main church hierarchy says about this.]
Uhuh. And how this...
http://www.christianpost.com/news/salt-lake-city-ranked-gayest-city-in-america-in-2012-66859/
...came to be the reality in the State Capital of America’s Islam.
The mormons are NOT Christians. They have the name Jesus Christ in the name of their church but they do not believe in Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible. They are deceived. Their beliefs come from the book of mormon that was fabricated by a man named joseph smith in the 1800’s. Go to hotm.tv - the Heart of the Matter Mormonism meets Biblical Christianity face to face - television program and website. You will see for yourself. I am a Christian, and I am not conforming to that way of thinking.
These "conversations" inflict harm on religious people.
Their need to have these "conversations" is a form of Sexual Addiction. We should file a class action suit for Sexual Harassment.
That is so true!!
BRAVO!!! Well said!! I agree: This is NOT the America my beloved Grandfather fought for either when he served in World War II either.
I know. Thus the ‘christian.’
Thanks for your response, though.
“The LDS church has been criticized for being anti-gay, recently surrounding the Prop.8 measure in California.”
Which is why this story shocks me. Something is not right here. If the Mormons fought so hard for Prop. 8 why would they turn around and do this?
“Which is why this story shocks me. Something is not right here. If the Mormons fought so hard for Prop. 8 why would they turn around and do this?”
It was a gay pride march in liberal gay friendly SLC, and some Mormons participated.
The Mormons that participated obviously would not support Prop 8, but the greater LDS community did and got criticized.
SLC is fewer than 200,000 population in a metro area numbering millions.
SLC is a relatively small part of the greater SLC metro area, and includes the university, etc. plus some liberal sections. The city has elected liberals for mayor for example.
I think the article said 300 Mormons marched. Almost any hurch has its liberal dissidents, and Mormonism obviously does as well.
I’ve read that less than half of Catholics believe or follow their church’s rules, so I’m not amazed that Mormonism is not a monolith, either. Some of them smoke, drink, etc.
Thank you, I knew I was right. ;>)
