Also, mormons who go into the temple, whatever temple, have this vow of quietness. They use hand signals to communicate and very low voices in ceremonies because what they are doing is sacred. A way to protest is to make a loud piercing sound to break the quietness. March around the temples with horns and other noise makers. Destroy the sanctity of quiet. Let them know the cost of doing business.

Catholics can’t turn people way at their churches is they are being quiet. Go to catholic churches on Sundays. Where a shirt expressing you r feelings. March down durning communion and ask for a blessing from the priest instead of communion. Let the parish see you.

With Evangelicals it is much harder. Anything you do can be drowned out and they will stop you at the door. So, somebody else is going to have to explain what to do for them.

As for the racial and ethnic minorities, we need to organize and make alliances and make consequences for not getting the population in support of our rights.

And finally, we need to organize more than just marching. We need to be a group that has political voice and power. If we fail to do that then we have completely failed.

Get the word out, please: Mormon temples are not like Catholic or Episcopal cathedrals.

They have neither regular congregations nor regular Sunday services, except perhaps small ones for their staffs. I’m not sure about that.

You need to look up the local Stake Houses (church buildings) which are used all day Sunday by a rotation of Wards (parishes).

Wards are identified sometimes by name, and sometimes by number. I’m sure the GLBT ex-Mormons can tell us how to find them.

They tend not to have big signs on
their stake houses.

THAT’S where you’ll have your impact, NOT at the Temples. Do one symbolic
demonstration at the Temples; perhaps keep holding regular demonstrations at the main one in Salt Lake, ’cause it’s right downtown; but go after the local Stake Houses and KEEP THE DEMONSTRATIONS GOING.

But be nice, and non-violent.

Most run-of-the-mill Mormon people are, as opposed to their
black-SUV-driving “enforcers” (see “Latter Days” for details).

They’re called “Fundamentalist nutcases”, and every religion has them. The actions of polygamist mormons are 100% contrary to the current teachings and policies of the Mormon church; they are neither supported nor approved of.

of course at this point I guess people will take any reason to hate the Mormon church. I’m not particularly fond of them myself right now, but _somebody_ has to stand up and straighten out the truth.

Perhaps it is you that needs to do some “research”. It is true that some members of the Mormon faith do not practice polygamy just as it is also true that some members of the Mormon faith do still practice polygamy. Perhaps you need to get out more or read more or watch more reports of various members of the Mormon faith and their activities which cause them to run afoul of the law on occasion. Check into the doing in Colorado City, and the activities associated with Mormons in West Texas. You might find that your denial of polygamy by Mormons might need a bit of revision.
As for Mormon bashing, they have been doing it to gay people and to gay Mormons for many, many, many years. Perhaps it is time that they learned how it feels to be on the other end of the stick. If they are going to interfere in other peoples lives then perhaps they need some interference in their lives. I know that there are some Mormons that support gay marriage and gay people. I would be willing to bet that they are smart enough to figure out that gay protesters have nothing against them. Perhaps some of them should join in the protests and make the others stand up and take notice. I am willing to bet that what the others would do would be to excommunicate them for supporting their gay sons and daughters. I may not be on the streets bashing Mormons, but I pity the next young Mormon boys that step foot on my porch and wake me up on a Saturday morning.

You are an idiot. In a country run by you and your Mormon friends, gay people would not exist not matter how sympathetic individuals might be. LDS would make us go away. And you apparently would cooperate wtih this because you have ‘so many friends’ . It’s a cult anyway.
Bash Mormons!!

A guy can marry a girl.

A girl can’t.

Gender discrimination. Period.
