I support Soulforce and the drive to present truth in our culture. It would help if we stop referring to the constitutional promise of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. These unalienable Rights are in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.

my freind said the churches that beleive in equal rights{marraige}should challenge the ones that dont beleive in equal rights and sue them for denying their freedom to practice their religious beleifs,then they,ll stop denying us our rights or run out of money whichever comes first.

What we really should be doing is what the woman from the Suffrage Act once did, to gain their rights in this world. We should be protesting the white house… Stand at the front gate everyday, with signs and speeches. Not giving up no what happens, no matter who gets hurt… In the end, it will one day be equal, as it once was intended to be.

Well here is Utahs answer..not taking to streets but directly to the legislature: (from EQ Utah Press Release 11/10/08)
GAUNTLET THROWN DOWN: Equality UTAH will ask for EQUAL Rights for GLBT Utahns in their Legislature: ” I take LDS Church leaders at their word that they are not anti-gay and that they sincerely understand that gay and transgender individuals and their families are in need of certain legal protections and basic benefits. I appreciate their statements that they do not oppose legal protections for gay people like those already enacted in California lawthat do not conflict with their genuinely held beliefs about marriage. This is our chance to come together and work to enact basic legal protections for gay Utahns. I am hopeful that the LDS Church will accept our invitation to heal our communities by bringing its considerable social and political influence to bear in support of laws that prevent discrimination and provide for the legitimate needs of all Utahns and their families.” ~Senator Scott McCoy
