Thanks for posting this, Bridgette. I really appreciate it. There will probably be more marchers in NYC next year – many are still afraid to do something for fear of backlash from their church leaders and their social circles. I’m very glad Traci G. Lee was able to speak with Peter Danzig, as he’s faced more backlash than any of us so far for speaking up. Things are changing fast – minds are changing and the minds that have already been changed will be willing to speak up shortly.

I am honored to have been a guest at an event that commemorates Stonewall and the Christopher Street liberation. Here’s two articles on the two parades I was in this weekend and last.

Hmm, let’s see, there are 14,000,000 Mormons worldwide. 30 or 40 of them showed up for NYC Pride, half of whom are gay themselves. Spectacular!

This proves Mormons are not anti-gay. This surely undoes the damage from the $17.67 million dollars given to Proposition H8 in California by 59,000 Mormon families.

So glad to see those Mormons have finally come around!

Thanks – I resigned from the church, but am getting support from my family and friends who remained. I appreciate your separation between heirarchy and individual members.

Another proof that “mormon” doesn’t necessarily has to rhyme with “moron”..
