Comments about ‘New York Times ad blasts ire aimed at LDS’

Great. Now I can add the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty in Washington, D.C. to my list of organizations to boycott and oppose.

Thank you

Think the justices of the CSC will sign the petition also, as they seek for loopholes in the law to overturn the vote of the majority?

there is a flip side to that story...I wonder if people targeted gays and lesbians and boycotted their places of business. I wonder how that would be viewed and yes we would probably hear a huge outcry for that reason and every other reason under the sun why they are so picked on. I dont have a opinion either way on prop 8. But I am getting tired of the griping and complaining. It is what it is... people have voted on it repeatedly through the democratic process. Dont complain because you don't like the outcome. Just move on.

Thanks to all these good people who signed and paid for this ad. We must all stand shoulder to shoulder for what is right.

These pro-gay marriage thugs have shown themselves for what they really are. It's so gratifying to see that many out there appreciate and support our efforts to uphold the sanctity of marriage and are defending us against these vicious attacks.

Thank you Becket Fund! Mobocrats should be ashamed of themselves.

Up with Democracy!

Up with Morality and Dignity!

Up with Marriage!

As we say here in Canada, Peace, Order, and Good Government (and Socialism and Separatism are not good government)!

Good. I will add the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty in Washington, D.C. to my list of organizations to support and finance. Gracias!

It is easy for gays and lesbians to pick on the LDS Church - they know there will be no violence directed back at them. They should try messing with the Catholic Church and they would have Italian Mafia close the deal really quick...

I appreciate all that signed the document (ad) and paid for it.

Mormons are unbelievable!

You rally to rip civil rights and equality away from a group of people who have nothing to do with you and your religion, and then you have the gall to call THEM "thugs"?

You remind me of the Pharisees, to whom Jesus said (I paraphrase):

"But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees (and Mormons), hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven (and marriage) against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." (see Matt. 23:13)

Boycott everyone you wish, Ted. You'll end up having no one to business with, because no decent person of any race or religion would support violence, terrorism, or religious persecution.

You'd better check on all your grocers, bankers, lawyers, dentists, optometrists, teachers in your children's school, car mechanics, landlords, employers, employees, co-workers, and everyone else in your life. Some of them might be Mormon, Evangelical Christian, or Catholic. Some among them may have opposed the hatred being directed at Prop. 8 supporters and particularly Mormons. You surely wouldn't want to do business with such creatures, would you?

These thugs need to be stopped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if gay activists still read the NYT -- does anyone else?

I'm glad someone is standing up to these gay activist (terrorists) that have been sending death threats, vandalizing property, forcing people to resign from their jobs because of their religion, and assaulting people of faith. These gay activists didn't get to alter the definition of marriage in the California election. The gay facade of tolerance has disappeared and now we know what gay activists really believe in anarchy and destroying morals and religion. Religion clearly explains homosexuality/sodomy is a sin. The wicked take the truth to be hard. This religious belief of homosexuality being an abomination is never going to go away. Gays are wasting their time attacking the basic morals of religious faith.

re: Joshua ben Joseph | 5:13 p.m.

Actually gay zealots are unbelievable.
They claim prop 8 supporters were liars for saying things such as; churchs would lose their tax exempt status. Yet when prop 8 passed, gay thugs began demanding that the LDS church lose its tax exempt status. Etc etc etc. All they have done is prove their critics absolutely correct.

I am homosexual, but I do not call myself gay because I am disgusted by the hypocrisy of the gay community. The Human Rights Coalition, Equality Utah and other politically correct fundamentalist organizations do not represent me any better than the Ku Klux Klan represents me as a white person.

I'm glad someone is standing up for what is right and for moral beliefs. It is sad that gays resort to violence and assaults on the religious when they don't get their way. I just wanted to say thank you to all of those that voted to protect our families in the California election.

The title should read "Becket Fund Ad Denounces Violence Against LDS".

Otherwise, we'd have to say "Deseret News Ad Has Shoes on Sale 50% Off"

The homosexuals claim foul play in that the conservative majority has imposed their will on the minority... WHAT OTHER PURPOSE DOES AN ELECTORAL PROCESS HAVE?! The proposition or candidate which gains the most votes, wins. Obama won because the majority of poeple voted for him. Prop 8 passed because more poeople voted yes than no. What is the problem? This is the essence of the democractic electoral system. These homosexuals are acting as if this is something new and that they are victims of an unfair process.

Mormons need to be stopped. There is no place for hate in this world, especially hate under the banner of religion. Mormons are a piece of work.

Hey Josh Bengay Joe - The people (not just Mormans) of California have spoken. Prop. 8 passed. Twisting the Bible for the gay lifesyle doesn't change anything. If it's God's will, it will be done or the sinners will pay the consquences!!! Jesus came to show mankind the better way. The Jewish people had to accept his teachings. They thought they could make a mockery of the temple, guess what he cleaned it up twice. Make a mockery of the marriage covenent (one man, one woman)and be prepared to suffer God's wrath again at his choosing. Know your Bible my good friend. Sayeth the Preacher.

It's one of the largest newspapers in the US. Are you implying that the subscribers don't actually read it? Do they just donate their copies directly to the local elementary school to be used by the students on paper mache projects?
