Mormons March for Gay Pride
Ashland
Today was also notable for all the religious organizations that held banners and marched in the pride parade.
One group that stuck out to many spectators were Mormons, who held signs voicing their support for gay couples. One sign even saying "Sorry, we're late." Spectators say it was a surprise to see so many religious groups involved this year.
"I’m glad there's a lot more churches out there that want to take part and want to be just as supportive as everybody else is right now."
The Mormon group's organizer says this is the first time they've been permitted by the Church of Latter Day Saints to voice their personal opinions on the topic, and organizers say they've already walked in the Seattle and Portland pride parades.

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I can affirm that the Church does not tell people what they can or cannot do. It never forces them to follow Church directions. It does present its views and asks its members to ask God if they should follow such counsel. The Church affirms its dedication to the law of Chastity (no sex outside traditional marriage) and the importance of traditional marriage.
Not many Mitt Romney's age are marching for gay pride. To gain an existential understanding of the cult that produced Mitt Romney, and to get your socks scared off, read The Assassination of Spiro Agnew, available in paperback and e-book on Amazon:

Its unwilling, part-Mexican Mormon assassin dramatizes the Mormon superiority complex, manifesting it as racism, sexism, jingoism and an anti-federal government temperament. His research in the new library reveals ominous similarities between Islam and Mormonism. The spiritual power behind the cult, which is not the Holy Ghost, acts out.
"With a clarity of language and vision unsurpassed in contemporary American prose, Steven Janiszewski's Assassination of Spiro Agnew takes us into a U.S. mazed with madness and Mormonism and all things Utah, a U.S. that was then and still is. Do we need a novel, even as brilliant as this one, about a young man on a divine mission to assassinate the Vice President because he is too liberal? Yes, now more than ever. Readers, welcome to a masterpiece."
