Any interesting and not unexpected change of tactic considering their demonizing of the Morman faith on the prop 8 thingie where the gay rights movement were later shown to be more like rabid dogs than anything...

~I do suppose that this is possibly a sign they don't think that much of marriage after all since they've shosen not to seek it and were simply after the legal privies that went with it afterall.~


The young men who are doing this are straight.
