    If you can get past the title, this so wonderfully and touchingly (to me anyway) expresses how gay people are experiencing this controversy and what is at stake for them.

I've been immensely privileged to work on all three of Wayne Self's original musicals, including his latest work, Upstairs.  The Up Stairs Lounge fire is as much a part of the LGBTQ rights story as Stonewall, Harvey Milk, the AIDS Quilt, and Prop 8.

                Thank goodness for the Bill of Rights.
                The Bill of Rights is one of those magical things that means whatever we want it to. Or so I'm told.

I heard the whole thing as it happened right outside my office door (see the bad office etiquette thread). She of course went to CFA and her husband posted pics of it on FB along with many of her friends. She has a gay family member who apparently was offended at the way this whole thing was carried out. I think the tone of many in the CFA supporting group was hurtful to gays.

                    Maybe the tone I observed was set by the vocal majority, but my FB newsfeed (complete with pictures) was full of some pretty direct and downright Unchristian remarks in regards to liberals, the media, and people in favor of gay marriage. This is why I posted early in this thread that there were two groups at CFA on Wednesday and I'm afraid the vocal majority was the gay-hating traditional marriage supporters and not those upset at the mayors asinine comments.
                    It is safe to say most of them have no real opinions on anything else those mayors do.

                                That is a very good piece. A gut-hitter. I disagree with his premises but he argues from them very well.

                                        Soon they're going to make churches marry people and dogs. That's the next step, so I've been told.

                                                No, I don't. I don't think it will happen here. I'm sure plenty of people will use it as a reason to fight same sex marriage, though.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
