Gold's Gym protest takes grateful turn

I've talked to a LOT of people who feel what you guys did was commendable. (the "silent majority" are with you). Sure not everyone's going to agree...but after all, it's not like you forced Gold's Gym International to change...you just asked them to be a smart business...and be locally sensitive to 80% of their market- students who have a more conservative bent...and put morals first. Picketing and petitioning is what caused every successful social reform...the right to express our first right amendment. And don't let anyone else tell you different

And sure Gold's is a private company...but I know a lot of people who had complained to Gold's about the sexually explicit videos...but they ignored them all...until you guys joined forces...and united. I don't believe they would have changed with you all!

For the sake of children everywhere...the public forum....NEEDS to be cleaned up. (12 year olds and up work out at Gold's Gym- by the way) A lot of critics don't realize...their silence over society's moral decline...is their vote. (church members listen up!!!)

CONGRATULATIONS "Stand For Decency Coalition" You guys rock!!!! What's next? Can't wait to hear...and throw my vote with you all!

Great Job Guys! We need more young people like you in this world! Church members need to start following your example, and as our dear Gordon B. Hinckley encouraged us to do, "Stand for Something!" and "Stand For Decency!" Congrats!!!

Where have you guys been?

I thought I was the only one working out at Gold's Gym... who was seriously offended at the stuff they were playing on the TV screens were bad.

Your critics keep forgetting one critical point. Sure it's a private business and you don't have to go...but they forget...Gold's Gym locks you into a 2 year contract. And with no real "free trial" window period...I felt trapped like your spokesperson did. I regretted joining a week after I signed on the dotted line... and didn't want to flush over $600 down the drain!

Good going!!! I read you guys got an egg thrown at you and cussed out. It's interesting...how many people feel you're stealing their "First Ammendment Rights" when you stand up for decency like you've all done. Too bad they don't know how to respect everyone's free speech rights.

If you ever need any help on future endeavours... I'd like to help... Utah is in desparate need of Saints who stand up and actually have a voice. I like what you all said about, "Silence is a Vote." How true is that!

AWESOME JOB!!!

How can anyone be offended by women doing aerobics in spandex is beyond me.Funny how we...well you actually, get all worked up in a lather over what's decent and moral but have no compunction about dropping bombs and innocent civilian,oh right,collateral damage. Were they not other gyms to go to?
