"LGBT New Yorkers and Straight Allies Please Join Us...
Wednesday, November 12, 6:30-8:00pm at New York Manhattan Mormon Temple, 125 Columbus Ave at 65th Street
Tens of thousands of our brothers and sisters are in the streets in California and Salt Lake City and around the country protesting the votes banning same-sex marriage in California. Join them! Make your voices heard right here in New York City.
We will tell the Mormon Church how we feel about its relentless campaign to condemn and control our lives. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was, by far, the biggest financer of California's heinous and hateful Proposition 8. The Mormon Church begged their members to donate money to Prop 8, pouring 20 million dollars into the campaign. And their attacks on us didn't start there and aren't about to end. They're plotting right now to bring their money and influence to bear against the LGBT community everywhere in this country, including trying to prevent marriage equality in New York.
PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION - BRING SIGNS -- ALERT THE MEDIA"
With that said the Mormon church should lose its tax-exempt status. They are a PAC.

Sadly, there is a great deal of misinformation about LDS support of prop 8 which suggests Mormons have some sort of vendetta against gays. In reality, many Mormons respect gays' right to live as they choose; even church leaders have officially stated they support legalizing domestic partnerships so that gays can have the rights they deserve.
There is absolutely no plot to "to bring their money and influence to bear against the LGBT community everywhere"; church leaders simply and briefly asked that members do what they can to support the measure.
I respect the rights of gay marriage advocates to peacefully protest, but they should do so with a correct understanding of the position of the LDS church and its members, that they do not hate gays or wish persecution on them.

I am so glad that the queer community is coming after these bastards. I am planning to show up to the demonstration an have my camera ready to snap away. I also think that the queer community should mobilize to not only condemn their god hating homophobic practices but also to what Roseanne exposed in her blog "
we citizens gay and straight pay for the police and the firemen that protect the property of the mormon church, which spans entire blocks of los angeles and orange county. let's stop doing this until this backward hateful racist and homophobic organization which allows child and plural marriage organization called the mormon church steps up and becomes american, and starts to respect the laws of freedom that this country was based on!!! the church is going down over prop 8..this is my prophecy!!!"
