Reposting this bit of interesting news… Written by Michael Aaron, QSaltLake Monday, 10 November 2008 Taking advantage of momentum following the apparent passage of California’s Proposition 8, Equality Utah called a press conference for Monday, Nov. 10 at noon in its offices. “Over this recent election cycle, there has been much emotion around California’s Proposition [...]
Yesterday, over 3,000 Utahns gathered around LDS church headquarters to protest the passage of California’s Prop 8 and the Mormon involvement in the campaign.
