Comments about ‘Park City mulling anti-bias ordinances’

Strike up another one for the good guys.

What is this doing in the mormon times? Why is this paper and so many members fixated on the gays. Just leave them alone.

Logical analysis:

It shouldn't be in the Mormon times.
This paper and members shouldn't fixate on gays.
Mormons should leave gays alone.

I only reworded your statements to be more accurate. Are these translated improperly? I will assume they are not to move forward.

By the same logic then gays (or anyone) should leave Mormons alone.

You are criticizing a group of people for merely having an opinion. The LDS church has been relentlessly harassed for having the opinion that differs from the modern liberal viewpoint. The harassment often targets the LDS church using logical fallacies and quite frankly, some disgusting behavior from some which the media has neglected to award less than 5% of the airtime it did to the viewpoints of those opposing the church.

Saying that the LDS church should leave people alone when the LDS church has done nothing to harass or offend a gay person. The LDS church has only stated viewpoints and given support of public decency in law making.

The LDS church has acted only within its rights and has been attacked numerous times often illegally. How is it logical to say to us to leave them alone?

Afraid that's not possible while you discriminate against them at the same time.

The LDS church and the LGBT community agree, discrimination is bad.

While apparently this does not apply to marriage, when it comes to your employment and the ability to pay your rent, your orientation should not play a factor in firing you or evicting you.

Gay or straight.

Because they are losing the battle.

I find it hard to believe that gays have a hard time finding places to rent or being evicted!!

I have 30+ Units in 84102 and the subject never comes up? Your Gay, so what! Pay me my rent on time keep the place clean and keep the noise down....what else am I missing here?

re: Why this paper?

What battle? There is not a battle nor has there ever been one. The church has always taught to love his neighbor to be respectful and caring. But it has also taught that marriage is between and man and woman. Nothing has changed. The ordinance only goes along with what the church teaches. Because the major signed an ordinance does not change anything it just helps the LGBT feel better.
The only battle that is going on is the battle against Satan. If you fall under that catagory then you have something to worry about.

'What battle? There is not a battle nor has there ever been one. The church has always taught to love his neighbor to be respectful and caring. But...'

I'm going to insert my own points here.

'...the LDS church has never taken a stand against discrimination towards the gay community till 2009.'

Thats right. Until this passed in SLC it was perfectly legal, and even protected, to fire or evict someone beause they date someone the landlord or boss didn't like.

How tolerant.

Also, if you find it hard to 'believe' that gay men/women have difficulty finding housing you apparently have not read the SLC July '09 discrimination report. You can find over 300 doctumented cases of housing discrimination there.

There is also the CONTINUING discrimination in employment example of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Over 13,000 men & women discharged from the Army. 1 or two a day. While America has two war fronts.

If you do not believe discrimination exist's, you are simply trying to ignore it.

I have a solution. Tell your boss in Park City you are gay.

See what happens.

Anti-discrimination is a much fairer description than gay rights. Thank you for this change.

And this has NOTHING to do with making Park City gay friendlier before SUNDANCE, does it?\r\nI was born at night, but not LAST night.
