LDS Mother of Gay Children Protest the Protest

Mormon mothers of gay children are staging a candlelight vigil in Salt Lake City to oppose the LDS Church’s support of California’s proposed gay-marriage ban. The event is being co-hosted by Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), Equality Utah, the Utah Pride Center, the Inclusion Center, Affirmation and the Human Rights Campaign. The event will be held today at 6 p.m. at Library Square, 210 E. 400 South.

In a news release, organizers invited all allies and members of the GLBT community – Mormon and non-Mormon – to join the vigil to support civil rights.
