SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- More than 300 Mormon church members who are not gay drew shouts of approval and tears from spectators while taking part in the Utah Gay Pride Parade in downtown Salt Lake City.
Members of Mormons Building Bridges say they sought to send a message of love to Utah's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community by joining the annual parade Sunday. Their participation marked the first time such a large group of Mormons took part in the parade.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports ( http://bit.ly/LdOP1c ) that the Mormons included parents carrying their children on their shoulders and pushing strollers.

Maybe they made up some new scripture to justify it.
Isn’t that just so special?
Wow, that many? I’m like so totally underwhelmed.
“Members of Mormons Building Bridges say they sought to send a message of love to Utah’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community by joining the annual parade Sunday”
It also sent a message to other Christians that they have nothing to do with each other.
Jesus hung with sinners too.
Can't catch fish unless you are near water.
Jesus never celebrated sin.
“Pride Parades” are a celebration of sin.
I guess it really IS news when some LDS idiots support a parade like this. I wish it were similarly news when people of many other faiths did, too...
But, all faiths represent a cross section of people...
They may have gone there not to celebrate but to inform. We don’t know.
“Jesus hung with sinners too.
Can’t catch fish unless you are near water.”
Somehow, I don’t think he would have joined the parade though.
The problem is not being gay...NO Christians do NOT hate them, the problem is its not something you are born to and they know this...BUT they have sufficiently bullied people by calling them bigots and oppressing them into a position of fear and the gays get to parade around USING these very people as PROOF that GOD APPROVES when He most assuredly does not.
Its not about rights its about forcing people to call it equal and good and no longer calling it what it is.
There are approximately 1,700,000 Mormons living in Utah.
300 professed Mormons marched in parade celebrating sodomy.
Percentage of professed Mormons celebrating sodomy: .01764.
Tea Party rallies attract thousands but are ignored by the AP.
GOT BIAS?
now that we’ve started celebrating sin, how about a
“Murderers Pride Parade”
” Child Molesters Pride Parade”
or
“Robbers, Pirates, and Petty Theft Pride Parade”.....
The message is “We’ll support you being gay if you’ll support us when we molest our children.”
Can Mormons have multiple husbands?
Homosexuals want to expand the definition of marriage. Leftists think this is an excellent idea. It's all about love and freedom and valuing diversity. The media will call you a freak if you don't support homosexual marriage.
From over a hundred years ago, Mormons gained a reputation for redefining marriage. The Leftists think that Mormons are a scary cult with bizarre sexual practices. The media will call you a freak if you think Mormons can serve in political office at the national level.
Full disclosure: I'd be a lot happier with a Christian as president. I do not plan to vote for Romney, although his religion is not a determining factor for me. But my point is that the media will try to sink Romney on the basis of his religion. They will be thoroughly biased. And the definition of marriage is an issue that the media will cover in two ways simultaneously: Mormons bad, Homosexuals good.
No need, this one will do:
Mathew 7:13
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
People have been celebrating sin since before Moses was born.
PYE meant Mormon scripture ...
not scripture from the Christian Bible...
These were Mormons not Christians...
Mormons have tended to make up new “scripture” to cover any new event etc...
Like this one...
Maybe now the Mormon gods will sanction homosexuality and gay marriage...
They already have a doctrine that OKs Mormon males having lots of one night stands...d&c 132...
Whats the difference with homosexuality ???
Its still unclean sexual sins as far as the Judeo-Christian God is concerned...
If they want to send a message of love all they have to do is drop ‘em and bend over. They will get all the love they can handle/.
