Comments about ‘Group plans 'kiss-in' at San Diego LDS temple’

Here we go again.

If a heterosexual couple starting kissing passionately and groping each other on Temple Square, I'm sure they would be asked to stop as well. There are things nobody should do in a public place. If the gay community really wants to open a dialogue with the LDS church, this is not the way to do it.

Siiiiiiiiiigh...
Here we go again.

Like a kid displaying attention seeking behavior--

IGNORE!!

is anyone surprised? now that they see they got attention, they are going to exploit it as much as they can. the couple that was cited had most likely done it all on purpose. it was propably staged so that they could raise a ruckus.

It would be interesting if the Church would release the security footage of the couple; to put to rest the conflicting stories.

Does the gay community think they are getting things accomplished by demonstrating like this?

When will these people grow up and stop these Jr. High demonstrations? If anything these rallies are hurting the gay community more than helping it. The general public is thinking less and less of them. The 2 guys that were cited deserved to be cited. They were intoxicated on private property for Peet's sake, among other things.

Gross, Gross, Gross

Think positive! If enough of the homosexuals get cited for trespassing that might go a long way to pay off California's budget deficit!

What's next, serving ham at a synagogue?

This is religious persecution, plain and simple.

I think it's ridiculous that a gay couple can't kiss in main street plaza. But when a "nice mormon couple" gets married they can pretty much make out all over temple grounds and main street plaza it's just fine. I'm sick of the mormon mind set that is plaguing this state. If someone who is mormon does something it's okay. But if someone who isn't mormon does something the same thing then they're prosecuted.

But it's not. These people don't think rationally or reasonably. That want to bug and annoy the majority until they get what they want. It's selfish and self-serving. I'm not a bigot. I don't hate any person, I just don't approve of their behavior. They talk about the "separation of church and state," but they have no idea where the term came from nor can they find it in the Constitution. And it's not a matter of "church and state," it's a matter of families and moral values. Faith and morality don't necessarily equate to a certain religion. Just because a law is faith-based or moral, it doesn't mean it has to do with a religious institution. Our country was founded on faith-based ideals. Theses annoying, selfish haters (yes, they hate their opponents and do not spread love to all) will never get my support to redefine marriage.

Unfortunately, this will only deteriorate as the line between goodness, and morality is continually blurred.

It seems the gays in California have no original ideas!

Why don't they sit in their house like every other couple in the United States! Stop making huge issues out of everything and blend in........... thats what they want right!!!!!

It must be nice to feel like you have a legitimate cause to fight for, no family to support, and little or no responsibility in life so you can spend all your time protesting and harrassing the LDS church rather than being a productive member of society. Any drunken couple that makes out and uses vulgar language on the plaza property will be asked (and if they refuse, forced) to leave. If you happen to be gay you will, of course, get more attention from the church security. You'll also get more attention if you do the same thing in a spedo. It doesn't make it some sort of violation of equal rights. If a drunken mormon couple had done this same thing on the steps of the Catholic Cathedral and been arrested then nobody would have cared. This is another example of reprehensible behavior that the gay community has justified in the name of fighting against oppression. Now they're doing kiss-ins to get more media attention and the media just eats it up. Vomit.

The gay community wants to "encourage dialogue" by acting against Church's beliefs? Very tactful.

What is it with these people? Is not this America? Aren't people entitled to think and believe the way they want without silly demonstrations abounding whenever a group doesn't get its way or is offended by the beliefs of others? Don't people have better things to do or are they using the LDS Church to vent their own prejudices, intolerances, and hatred? Why don't we spend our time trying to understand and accept each others differences as normal and healthy instead of acting like spoiled children who spew their hated and venom when others disagree with us? Gays hurt their cause through this immature and childish behavior. I enjoy my association with my gay friends and thankfully we respect the difference we have with one another. Live and let live and give the whole thing a rest.

I think that this has gone way to far!!!!

I don't get how you think that you are going to get futher dialog with the church by doing this. What kind of dialog are you looking for? We have talked to you - countless times -- and we are not going to change to suit what you want. You complain about us trying to shove our religion down your throat - but in truth isn't this EXACTLLY what you are doing here. If you are proving anything it is that you are the ones who are the bigots and full of hate.

The church had every right - legal and morally - to do what they did. Your guys were in the wrong here.

Please stop this harassment - can't you see that in truth you are really only hurting yourselves???
