Hmmm

Let's see, wonder where this came from...

Seattle Guy

These Gays have taken it to a new level....the fact that they are willing to do this shows how nuts they are.

Cam in California

It would appear that Anti-Prop8 protestors have resorted to using terrorism to attack the LDS Church.

Double standard

I highly doubt that had the vote on Proposition 8 gone the other way that any gay headquarters would be threatened, harassed, picketed, and now possibly terrorist attacked. Where are all the 'moral' leaders' outrage now? Where is Jesse Jackson? Where is Obama our new president? Where is the ACLU? I'm sure this helps the gay cause...

Not impressed

So this is protesting?

I could be wrong and this event along with recent protests against the church regarding proposition 8 could be completely unrelated, and I would welcome being proved wrong.

I completely respect the right to assemble given to all Americans. It's a necessary right guaranteed by the constitution. I don't respect people who carry around envelopes full of white powder, presumably harmless, and pass it around to scare people.



Why

Can't the people who support proposition 8 just leave the Church alone, this is beginning to become a joke.

Chris

Wow, it's interesting to me that so many liberal people talk about tolerance and acceptance but when it comes right down to it, they do exactly the opposite. If you're going to "talk the talk", then "walk the walk". Have respect for others.

Friend of the Church

Unbelieveable. If this were the government being sent an envelope with white powder it would be considered a terrorist act, to gays it would be a hate crime, but because it is to the Church, the mainstream media, and enemies of the Church could care less. Give me a break. This is getting out of hand.

Slow to judge

Seattle Guy seems to have inside information. Hmmmm.

Eric

As a supporter of Propostion 8 and a strong opponent of the Church's involvement in this issue, I am embarassed. We all know what this is about. There are much better ways to handle this.

baseless?

Why the baseless accusations?

Michael Jay

Don't just jump to conclusions, it could be some other party or person that hates the church and saw this as an opporutinty to drive a wedge even farther between The Church and other groups.

Anonymous

This is completely uncalled for. However, just because some nut sent some white powder to the temple doesn't mean all gays are nuts. LDS people don't want to be stereotyped and gay people don't want to be either.

Stop pointing fingers so fast

This probably has nothing to do with gay people. You are showing the kind of prejudice and hate that they keep accusing us of having against them. Let's just hope there was no harm done and move on without pointing fingers until the authorities have actually confirmed something.

California Voter

I was not a supporter of prop 8. But this kind of childish intimidation against the LDS is completely unacceptable. It is wrong and extremely pitiful.

What??

There was no where in this article that stated homosexuals sent the substance. And was it the homosexuals that sent the white powder out years ago when this threat first started??

Sad Situation

How amazing would it be if both sides tried to foster a little more understanding. How great would it be if we valued people, not only people who we agreed with.

No on Prop. 8 has its merits. Yes on Prop. 8 has its merits also. Neither side is completely wrong, neither side has no poor repercussions if their side won.

What do we do when we cannot come to a consensus? We have a vote. The people voted. Let's not call them bigots, on either side. They are doing what they feel is right. Let us all do that, and then be tolerant enough to let people have their own views.

plankton

Could be an act of terrorism too. What a bunch of miserable thugs!

Typical methods

Typical of liberal thinking bozos. No free speech if you oppose their way of thinking. Scare tactics if you disagree with them. Nice work gay community; that will change peoples minds about gay marriage.

Prophet, Seer and Revelator

I am reminded of President Hinckley's comment about the changes around the Salt Lake Temple were because he felt the need to protect it....

Get ready the hoe is digging deep in the weeding out process!!!
