Run a CounterAd NOW!

Let HRC & GLADD pay Last Friday the Mormon Church took out a full page advertisement in the New York Times criticizing Post-Prop 8 protests held recently throughout the country. In response to the ad, Human Rights Campaign and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation urged supporters to write letters to the New York Times. Activist Peter Staley (POZ/AIDSMEDS.com) correctly faults that response as inadequate. He calls for HRC/GLADD to put its money where its mouth is and stand up for the community.

The Mormon Church Plays Victim

In today's New York Times, the Mormon church published an ad entitled 'No Mob Veto.'

The continuing assault on the civil rights and liberties of members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer community is the true outrage!

Prop 8 Protest in New York Announced

Following up on the protests in California and beyond, next Wednesday there will be a protest at the Mormon Temple in Manhatttan:
Tens of thousands of our brothers and sisters are in the streets in California and Salt Lake City and around the country protesting the votes banning same-sex marriage in California.Join them! Make your voices heard right here in New York City.We will tell the Mormon Church how we feel about its relentless campaign to condemn and control our lives. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was, by far, the biggest financer of California's heinous and hatefulProposition 8. The Mormon Church begged their members to donate money to Prop 8,pouring 20 million dollars into the campaign. And their attacks on us didn't start there and aren'tabout to end. They're plotting right now to bring their money and influence to bear against the LGBT community everywhere in this country, including trying to prevent marriage equality in New York.Join us in speaking out against Mormon hate! Stop them taking away your rights! Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Time: 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Location: New York Manhattan Mormon Temple
Street: 125 Columbus Ave at 65th StreetCity/Town: New York, NY
