So, this happened yesterday morning:
I have a few thoughts on this, some relate to
the message in general, others relate to the message coming from Utah.
Thought 1: Does God (whose existence in my
opinion is entirely questionable), really hate
anyone? I mean, he (or she) is supposed to be this merciful, powerful,
forgiving bad-ass, right? I don’t even think God hates the Devil himself (or
herself).
Thought 2: GODDAMNIT, UTAH! I really love
living here, and my friends and family were beginning to see why. And then some
j-off pulls this shit. I just found “Mormons for Equality” on Facebook for goodness sake.
Thought 3: It’s things like this, like the LDS
Church’s contribution to Prop 8, that give Utah a bad name. And judging by the
comments on the Huff Post, it sounds like these things are really doing their
job.
Yes, Utah is conservative, yes we are largely
governed by the church. But did you know Salt Lake City has the only openly
atheist mayor? Did you know that I just passed by more same sex couples than I
could count on my lunch break walk through downtown and Temple Square? Did you
know we have a freaking TOURBUS that does “hop on, hop off” pub crawls on the
regular?
Final Thought: I just can’t believe we’re
seeing this shit. In Utah. Anywhere. Same thing with racism. WTF? I hope that
“shaundominic” is right and that a lot of people are flipping their shit
because gay marriage is thisclose to becoming legal in much of the country.
