Seperate But Equal Is Anything But

To the leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  You have the audacity to make the statement that voting is a sacrosanct and individual right.  You are goddammed right voting is sacrosanct!  I do NOT need you to tell me how to vote!  You have seriously got some nerve trying to tell people to vote in favour of Proposition 8 after your tainted history regarding marriage.  As I have been a Mormon, I know that you tell your members to vote their conscience.  That is in contradiction to your statement read in Sacrament meeting affirming your support for Proposition 8.  By asking your members to vote in favour of this measure and to donate monies to support its passage, you have demonstrated tenancies similar to that of a PAC.  As such, you should lose your tax-exempt status and I will be asking the appropriate government leaders to pursue action to that effect.  In addition, I was proud to have been a part of the protests led outside your temple in Salt Lake City.

Now on to the issue of gay marriage itself.  I get so mad when idiots like Thomas S. Monson of the Mormon church try to tell me that gay marriage will destroy the sanctity of marriage.  It seems to me that with a divorce rate approaching 80%, heterosexuals have done a fine job of destroying the sanctity of marriage.  Gay marriage will not alter the fundamentals of the universe or make the world end.  Gas prices will still suck if gays are allowed to marry and your neighbors dog will still be annoying.  Nothing that drastic will change.  There has been no definitive evidence indicating that children raised by a gay couple turn out any different than those raised by a straight couple.  I dont agree with those who would say that they have no problem with civil unions as long as they dont call it marriage.  That is discrimination.  It is not fair to tell a group of people that they cant use an identifier to define their relationship simply because of their sexual orientation.  If you are going to go that route, you may as well give them their own drinking fountain and restrooms.  Oh, wait, thats illegal.
