Salt Lake City passes gay rights laws with Mormon backing - USATODAY.com

I've read this thing twice and can't understand what the point is.

"The church supports these ordinances because they are fair and reasonable and do not do violence to the institution of marriage,"

Ok, good. Makes sense.

Gays are welcome in church, but must remain celibate to retain church callings and full membership.

So you can be gay as long as you don't act like it in public or private :wack:

But addressing the council on Tuesday, Otterson said the endorsement is not a shift in the church's position on gay rights and stressed it "remains unequivocally committed to defending the bedrock foundation of marriage between a man and a woman."

*face palm* :disagree:

So they don't mind if you CALL yourself gay, as long as you don't ACT on it. :wacko:
