Salt Lake City Voted Most "Gay" in U.S. (http://www.moneyteachers.org/SLCGay.html)
"Salt Lake City was just voted the "Gayest" city in the United States by the Advocate magazine.
The Salt Lake Tribune pointed out that the city also has am openly gay city councilman, Stan Penfold.
Still, many readers criticized the magazine for the factors it cited as being indicative of a strong gay community. The factors include: the presence of a women's NBA team, semifinalists in recent International Mr Leather gay pageant competitions, the number of chapters of the gay group Imperial Court and the number of teams entered in the Gay Softball World Series.
Those criteria were awarded points, which were then divided by the total population -- allowing small towns to compete with big cities like Atlanta and Minneapolis, Minnesota." (Source)
Mormons can thank Mitt Romney and his attempts to "mainstream" (corrupt) their family values. Romney reportedly received a $10,000 donation from the homosexual extremists that call themselves the "Log Cabin Republicans". In return, he did nothing when the Massachusettes Supreme Court voted that State Laws that define marriage as between a man and a woman were unconstitutional. In Massachusettes, Romney was the Republican governor, and had the power to stop the state from becoming the first to endorse homosexual marriage.
The Mormon Church, in a surprise move, helped the Romneyites along by endorsing a Gay Rights ordinance in Salt Lake City. A major leader also reportedly apologized for the Church's support of Proposition 8 in California, that defined marriage as between a man and a woman. The Church has also ordained openly gay men to Priesthood local leadership positions.
Personally, I am ashamed of the Romneyites and their effective liberalization of the Mormon Church. However, I am not surprised. Romney would sell his own mother for the presidency, and is a MINO (Mormon in Name Only). What is surprising is the lack of outcry within the Mormon community itself.
"When Salt Lake City embraced anti-discrimination ordinances for gay and transgender residents last fall -- snagging a landmark endorsement by the LDS Church and widespread support from city officials -- more shifted than public policy.
Public opinion -- throughout Utah -- jumped, too.
Support for some gay rights, short of marriage, climbed 11 percentage points across the state from a year ago, according to a new Salt Lake Tribune poll, and shot up by 10 percent among Mormons." (Source)
