I noticed that the LDS Church is sending the sisters into EQ to shame the men into joining the crusade. Someone said they come in wearing long skirts and their heads covered and chanting, "Keep your covenants! Honor your priesthood!" and then ask for people to sign up for the crusade, saying they must do so to stay honorable. That's some pretty heavy tribal psychology going on there.

I know you to be a good and nice person. I have sat with you and enjoyed BYU sports. It is clear that our guts disagree. But that does not mean that our hearts, hands, and minds cannot be friends.

[QUOTE=TripletDaddy;251859]You're right. It doesn't, and I hope that you're gut is right, and that mine is wrong, because I have a feeling that gay marriage is here to stay.

We were invited to go over to a ward members house tonight and help cut and fold hundreds of paper handouts for tomorrow.
I am tempted to go over just so I can get my hands on them. Everyone is meeting tomorrow morning at some local school at 8:30. If I dont go tonight, I will go tomorrow in the morning and pick up the info.

Ah, those unintended consequences! Perhaps he can take his three daughters down to the gay pride parade and then go home and pay homage to those marchers and show how they were right and the 'old white guys' were trying to mislead the Church membership.

I went this morning to the local HS where everyone was to gather. The event was to begin at 8:30. I stayed until about 8:45. There were about 40 people there from our entire stake....not a horrible turnout, but not a great one, considering we have 5 wards and 1 branch....that is about 8 people per Church unit.
Overall, it was a respectful scene. The coordinators kept emphasizing that today was a polling exercise. We were not to engage, but if we were asked, we could identify ourselves as LDS. The handout material apparently was just made available online. I have some here with me, but rather than scan it, you can read it yourself. It is all really more of the same stuff (although some of the wording is interesting...."activist" judges, "4 San Francisco-based judges," etc..) http://www.protectmarriage.com/resources The two things I could not find online I have scanned for the group to read. One is a handout, the other is our brief "walking script." In fairness, the script seems very benign to me. The organizers did explain that over the next few weeks, the tenor of the activities would shift a bit. But today, it was all about "taking the temperature of Irvine."
