Showcasing, once again the lack of freedom from religion…Demonstrating, once again that the words of a religious text outweigh the importance of the text of our Constitution…Promoting, once again hypocrisy above reason; a hold, a stay, a denial of equal rights is being played out in the state of Utah against men and women who among many other attributes happen to be Gay and Lesbian. And why aside from homophobia, religious dogma, hate and bias does the state of Utah insist that permitting same-sex couples to say I do will encourage opposite sex couples to say I don’t. No fact necessary they proclaim just the teachings of their religion. A religion that once agreed a man should have as many wives as he wishes, refused to include blacks into their Temples, and has greased the hands of politicians forking out dollars for bigotry but of course never paying any taxes along the way. And assisting in denial of equal rights is the Supreme Court suggesting that all Americans are not entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The Mormon Church fought long and hard to stop equality from happening in California. Using the same lame concept that same-sex marriages place a frown on the lips of opposite sex couples stopping them to form the words I do the state of Utah a subsidiary of the Church of LDS has asked for a halt to freedom for of course the LGBT community. In a country or a state where the freedom of religion trumps the freedom from religion laws will be either passed or discontinued to encourage vile and venom. Acting as if the message from a loving God is to deny love, the homophobes have shouted loud enough to drown out even the words of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court blocks same sex marriage in Utah pending an appeal. The Supreme Court decided that marriage is not an institution for all of the citizens of Utah. Somehow Bob and Ted, Alice and Ann saying I do needs more time and reflection while Will divorcing Jane, Jane cheating on Alex plays no part in the true meaning of wedlock in Utah. Somehow falling in love and wanting to legalize it in Utah is too risky, but adultery or infidelity is cool in saving the Institution of Marriage.For fair minded folk who do not blame their God for hating like humans this makes no sense. And so the citizens of Utah who happen to be among the many attributes in their life Gay or Lesbian must once again find second class a moniker they must wear. equality has been murdered once more and for no cause but sheer hate and homophobia. Nothing American about the justice denied in Utah.
