Republican wants Gay-Straight Alliances banned from Utah high schools.

Every day, Utah proves to me that praying to Mormo will not make me as smart as Ken Jennings. |

Sounds VERY enforcable.
How can you ban the drama club? |

Ban all clubs to get rid of a gay-straight alliance. Being a student in Utah must be a blast.

Great quote from the article:
"When attorneys kept warning lawmakers that the law was unconstitutional on its face and would be a waste of money, one legislator was heard to say, "I'm getting sick and tired of this constitutional crap." Amen, brother. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |

Laywers Love Utah
[ QUOTE ]
You just have to love Utah. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] link [The] ill-advised legislation, which if passed will cost the state a bundle of money in litigation, is deja vu for the Utah Legislature. Its outcome will be no different than when the Legislature passed a law in the 1980s to regulate the content of subscription cable television programming, which eventually cost Utah taxpayers about $2 million before it was struck down by the courts.

Re: Republican wants Gay-Straight Alliances banned from Utah high scho
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. |

[/ QUOTE ] Tangential, but now I'm wondering: might evangelical Christians be an exception to this effective exclusion or not? I'll guess "not"--although I don't really see how the Mormons could claim the evangelical Christians are *wrong*. (The Mormons might claim their Book of Mormon builds on and perhaps even surpasses the Bible, but they can't/don't claim the genuine Bible-thumpers are *wrong*, do they? (and by using the "Bible-thumpers", I mean strictly in the religious, not political, sense). |

If you're not Mormon then you're just NOT. Since they use the cultic practice of shunning members, even family, who have left their fold, that should show this point.
