[BluffTHIS!]

Nice distortion to get in an anti-repub comment. Since virtually all Mormons are republicans, then naturally the repub party will be dominant in Utah, and Mormon agenda items will be advanced by the state's repub party, although its positions will not always be, like in this case, national repub policy.

And as far as those gay kids, they are actually being done a favor and learning that they have no future in Utah. What are they going to do when they go into business and are doing the required networking at some function and the inevitable question comes:"what stake do you belong to?". And they reply none because they are unbelievers since the Mormon church looks down on their gay lifestyle. Even if they replied none because they are catholic like me, the result is the same, i.e. you will never be accepted fully in society and will not prosper in business without being Mormon. So better to get the message early and make one of the other 49 states a home.
