Huntsman might be a closet gay? He supports them and civil unions so much it's scary! I think he has his eye on the whitehouse my friends... Keep your eye on the run for 2012, why else would he support McCain? Because he knew how old he was and wanted to be the Vice or his hand picked next in line to run for Republican President. He is starting to look more and more worldly with his new Liquor laws he pushed for the state, and this "Civil Union" thing, Watch him, he will be running for president, watch and see!

You are a sick and twisted fascist. I hope someday you have the learning experience of being discriminated against the way you are doing to others. You disgust me.

"By the way Anonymous: Some people will never accept same-sex perversion as mainstream!"

You don't need to accept it any more than you need to accept drinking, gambling or smoking as legal activities.

Because we live under the constitution, we believe that ALL AMERICANS, even those who do not live like you think they should, have equal rights.

For Pete's sake!

"I would have no problems with civil unions for gays as long as there was a way to keep them from adopting."

There is not a state in this union that keeps gays from adopting! It has nothing to do with gay marriage or civil unions!

You are talking about a brand new law that hasn't yet been vetted or voted on anywhere. Please separate gay marriage from the gay adoption delemma in your mind. Thanks.

"As for the children that they want to adopt or have artificially born to them, they are the real victims of these types of relationships since they are brought up into this type of environment. One that isn't natural or normal."

And keeping their gay parents from marrying each other is another cross that these children must bear. Why do we want to punish them by making their homes less stable? Aren't we suppose to protect all children? Why aren't you helping these children?

Republicans hate Mormons | 3:11 p.m. April 29, 2009

When will LDS say enough to the Evangelical Republican insults? First they slimed Romney and now Huntsman. Please notice that the Democrats never insult Brother Harry Reid, pro-life, faithful LDS that they elected as their leader in the Senate.

Time for LDS to wake up and send the Republicans a message not to take us for granted.

Huntsman is a great leader that has the foresight to negotiate and lead. The original GOP was not conservative extremists, they were moderate WIGS! The GOP are a bunch of losers and until they pull their war monger heads out of the sand, they are through!

re: Anonymous at 2:45 | 4:07 p.m. April 29, 2009

Your post is a typical leftist reaction to common sense- let the emotions and insults fly with zero logic to back them up. Are you going to dispute my claims or just resort to name-calling?

RE: Republicans hate Mormons | 4:36 p.m. April 29, 2009

Democrats just hate and insult everyone who doesn't think like them, especially any religious coservative.

If Reid were ever to stand for true LDS values and principles you would see, but as long as he supports the liberal democrats views, or doesn;t speak out against them, he passes muster with them.

Evangelists may have some doctrinal disagreements wtih Mormons,

but on most issues, especially politically, they actually agree.

So it is NOT republicans that hate or have bigotry problems towards mormons its just some evangelists.

But democrats are much worse.

Lynn D Hoggan | 4:37 p.m. April 29, 2009

Huntsman understands the real world and civil rights are for all Americans. What a mistake by the GOP extreme to continue this battle over a true civil rights issue. The GOP talks like the DEMO before the Civil War. Lincoln was for civil rights and he has to be the greatest Preident in GOP history if not all of USA history. WAKE UP people it is time to look forward not back. I am so thankful I grew up in the 60's & 70's when we had the courage to stand up for change. (I VOTE GOP for PRESIDENT)

Although I'm extremely disappointed in the Governor (for a number of reasons), I don't think he should have been disinvited. That's kind of tacky.

However, I don't think he has a snowball's chance of even getting the Republican nomination for President let alone getting elected. Quite frankly, if it came between him and Mitt Romney, I don't think he could even win in Utah.

EmBee | 4:46 p.m. April 29, 2009

Whittle away, whittle away. You and the southern conservatives. Do you really believe the Huckabee crowd is going to accept you. The conservative movement is so pure it's down to nearly one in five Americans who call themselves Republicans. Be careful, this is not Ezra Taft Benson Republican party that you remember. Utah Republicans are going to be on an island. Good luck, because this nation needs a two party system as badly as Utah does. If you want to lay with dogs don't complain about the fleas.

Republicans are so hard core | 5:02 p.m. April 29, 2009

They can't hear the other side
Weird People should be married to each other
Not your family
Got That ????

Thank you Michigan | 5:32 p.m. April 29, 2009

Thank you for standing up to a rino. It's the rino's that killed our party and by standing up to them they will be replaced by those who share GOP values and we will return.

However, I do believe that gays, polygamist, and other groups should all have the opportunity for civil unions. Just don't call it a marriage.

re: Republicans are so hard core | 5:48 p.m. April 29, 2009

People become weird because of the choices they make. If everyone did everything he or she felt like doing, we would live in complete anarchy and chaos. That's why society shouldn't reward weird, unproductive, selfish behavior based on urges (i.e. homosexuality, masturbation, viewing pornography, etc.), but incentivize people to choose to engage in productive behavior (i.e. heterosexual marriage) that will result in a populated, stronger, healthier America.

Huntsman's Looks? | 6:28 p.m. April 29, 2009

"Huntsman's "gay agenda?" You people are insane!

Does he LOOK gay to you?!"

So tell me, what does a gay look like?

Do you even know any gays?

Howard | 8:52 p.m. April 29, 2009

Huntsman and so many others should have followed Abraham Lincolns advice. "...never sell an old friend for an old enemy." We gain nothing and loose a whole lot by selling our values, in the hopes of gaining something or someone. That something or someone will almost always be an old enemy!

Observer | 9:04 p.m. April 29, 2009

It is interesting that so many condemn the cancellation of the Governors appearance. If he were a Democrat who did not support civil unions he would not be allowed to speak anywhere.

At least the Democrats can stand for something even if it is that everything is acceptable as long as you do not oppose it.

crazy gay obsessions | 9:14 p.m. April 29, 2009

It is amazing to me that people are willing to split the Republican party over "civil unions" or whatever. Can I just remind everybody who visits these boards that gay people are something like 5-10% of the population. you'd think that half of America is gay by the obsession that gay issues have in Utah. let's focus on issues that affect the majority of people: the economy, health care, national defense, education.

Warren Kay | 7:35 a.m. May 1, 2009

To me this is an issue of integrity. Had Brother Huntsman came out in support of civil unions prior to either of his two elections, I would have a much higher respect for him. Coming out afterwards makes me feel like perhaps we have a wolf in sheep's clothing. Sincerely.
