INVEST IN LOVE NOT HATE!
Dec 14 2008, 3:35 AM EST
Ever since Prop 8 passed, tensions have been high between the GLBT community here in Utah & the LDS church. A friend of mine () has made a suggestion, that may turn this atmosphere to a positive outcome. In protest against the churches stance on proposition 8, rather than resorting to violence or negative actions, put this energy into feeding the hungry.The LDS church is known for donating food to the hungry, rather putting our time and money into dividing the country, the GLBT community will be putting it where the church should have in the first place; into helping our fellow man.This is starting at a local bar named Try-Angles 240 West 900 South in Salt Lake City, which will be filling their entire patio with food. A local magazine named Q Salt Lake is helping by advertising to getting folks behind it. We are hoping that with the right publicity this won’t stop with one well meaning bar but hopefully spread nation wide. Proving not only that we have a large, strong, unified community, but a compassionate, giving one as well. Concerned more with using our time and money for the love of our fellow man, than spreading more hate.We know that this matter involves two things you care deeply about, and if you can help spread the word, we would be deeply thankful.Just as a side note, I am LDS, and Straight, and have been torn between my deep belief that love is NEVER wrong no matter who it is with, and my churches stance on this matter. This is a way I can positively protest. Please let it be known, there is a large group of “Mormons” out here, that are against prop 8 any other legislation like it. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
