I'm no expert, but I do know all of us are screwed, since Mormonism strictly forbids, among other things, gambling.

[ QUOTE ]
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?".

I agree that this post is pretty much a weak jab at the Republicans.... but this justification of it is kind of far-fetched. You're assuming that all the kids will be going into business and will be shunned when that might be true for only a small portion of them. More fundamentally, even if what you say is true, by enacting homophobic policies like this, the state is ensuring that it always will be true. Nobody's being done a favor here.
