This is the first I've heard about documents proving the Mormon Church's direct involvement in leading the anti-gay charge during Prop 8. Not that I had any doubt that it should lose its tax-exempt status in any event but ... this should really clinch the deal. ... "Should" being the operative word there.
ReplyDeleteHi. I haven't been here in a while. That anti-transgender bus was doomed, and I don't know why they bothered to come to Boston. Perhaps they haven't learned how tolerant this city is and how it's led by our terrific Mayor Walsh:
ReplyDeleteSpeaking while the transgender flag was raised over over City Hall, Boston's mayor Marty Walsh said: "We are listening to our transgender community by making the city more inclusive.
"Its important for us to every now and then send a message, to let people know we will not be intimidated by discrimination or harassment.
"When you deny the experience of transgender individuals, you are denying the experience of basic human civil rights - in Boston and Massachusetts we are better than that.
Yes, in Boston we are.
I heard a podcast about the leaked Mormon documents. We all knew it was happening- how heavily the leaders were involved, but of course they denied it. Now its out in the open. When will they loose their tax exempt status??
ReplyDeleteAnd now with Mr. Trump- we could loose the Johnson Amendment. =( But I haven't heard anything about that in awhile...
Dang, Ahab, it's been two months now that you've been away. I hope things are OK.

DeleteYo, boss. I'm a little worried you've gone into hiding because you've got possession of the trumpian Pee Tape and that you're dodging the Russian mob these last five months.
ReplyDeleteLook, if you're in trouble - or need a YouTube channel to upload that video to - just cough three times, discreetely, okay?
Paul -- No worries! I haven't gone into hiding. I'm just a little harried right now with meatspace responsibilities.
DeleteI keep checking in here. Now I'm worried.
