Gay Marriage Advocates Protest LDS in Mesa

Advocates for equal right of all citizens, including gay marriage, were out in force when Mormons lit their massive Christmas displays at their temple in Mesa, Arizona.

The Mormon opposition to same-sex marriage and the passage of state constitutional amendments banning gay marriage in Arizona, California and Florida in the Nov. 4 election has spurred several protest against the LDS Church. Now, ironically enough, those who support inequality for gay persons are saying the demonstrations held by equal rights activist are a product of hate and bigotry. This from a church who urged members to donate money and vote for the gay marriage bans which strips equal rights from a minority group.

According to gay Mormon and protest organizer Bobby Parker,

”They’re shining their light, we’re shining ours.”
