The Lavender Lobby's New Ally

Will Grigg / Liberty Minute:
Despite its very visible opposition to so-called homosexual marriage, the Mormon Church has allied itself with the gay rights lobby in opposition to property rights. On November 10, Salt Lake City’s municipal government became the first in Utah "to offer housing and employment protections for gays and lesbians - an action supported by the Mormon Church," reported the church-owned Deseret News. The non-discrimination ordinance, which Utah homosexual rights activists hope will become a model for state and federal laws, would "bar landlords and employers from discriminating based on sexuality," while exempting the Mormon Church and other religious institutions.
