Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, July 12, 2009

A gay couple say they were detained by security guards on a plaza owned by the Mormon church and later cited by police, claiming it stemmed from a kiss on the cheek. Aune, 28, said he gave Jones, 25, a hug and kiss and that the two were then approached by a security guard, who asked them to leave, telling them they were being inappropriate and that public displays of affection aren't allowed on the property. He said other guards arrived and the men were handcuffed.

Man what the fuck is wrong with Mormons?

Hey, don't fuck with the mormons. They've got magic underwear.

Man what the fuck is wrong with Mormons?

Plenty, and it doesn't have anything to do with their beliefs about queers.

"public displays of affection aren't allowed on the property."

I'd love to see the actual law they believe they were enforcing.


LAWSUIT!!!

Righties.....is this grounds for a lawsuit?

.......or is it only OK to sue (repeatedly) if you're going to testify in behalf of republicans during a Judicial Confirmation hearing?

I'm sure the Lambda Legal Defense Fund has already contacted them with an offer of representation.

Fuckin' religions. They just can't stay the fuck out of others people's lives.

Greet you one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen I Peter5:14

Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you. Romans 16:16
American King James Version

Mormons. Maybe there wasn't enough tongue involved.

On what grounds would they sue? They were on private property and refused to leave that was the basis of the arrest.

I don't even see how this is news. If they didnt want to be singled out they probably shouldnt have gone to a Mormon plaza. When in Rome....

I think gay men should ban together and organize a mass kiss-a-thon on church property in SLC. That would be entertaining.

"That would be entertaining."

Add lesbian couples in drag and straight couples where she's dressed as a man and then it would really get interesting.

"Underwear check!"
~Mormon joke

One more example of gays trying to bash down doors. Poor souls just want to be understood.

"Bring out your men that we might know them!"

meh, its private property so the church could kick anyone out for any reason.

"Man what the fuck is wrong with Mormons?"

That list of 111,742 things that they are obligated to wet their temple garments over.

Those two gay guys should have turned to the security guard and began to sing --

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh

The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

"As Time Goes By" - from the movie "Casablanca"

"on a plaza owned by the Mormon church"....Hard to understand this, isn't it.

"asked them to leave"....Another point hard to understand.

"A gay couple say"....and because they are gay they are truethful, right?

Of course "The men say they were targeted because they are gay."... just a peck on the cheek, right? Because they said so? I hope it was a KODAK moment.

"They became argumentative and used profanity and refused to leave the property," ....lies, I tell ya, lies!!!

"The church has been the target of protests over its support of a ban on gay marriage in California.".... Ahhh, the meat and potatoes. They are there to prove a point on the Moron's own turf.

Oh, yes, your comments are certainly justified.

They were asked to leave the property and they didn't.

The police were called and they received a citation for trespassing.

Can they sue for unlawful arrest or detain??


Based on these facts--unlikely.

Will they try to sue? Sure--why not.

Problem was there was only two of them. They needed a group grope to make the big love crowd feel comfortable.

btw-if two guys kissing on the cheek freak Mormons out, how did the Mittser survive his draft-dodging days in France?

I'm torn on this. I support gay rights, but it's not clear to me from the article that the couple was singled out because they are gay. It was private property, the couple was asked to leave, and they refused. I'm not sure what the plaza looked like, but to me an equivalent would be the old cathedrals in Europe -- covering shoulders, knees, etc. Should the church be able to make you dress a certain way in public or on public property? I don't think so. But if you're going onto their turf, I think it's a sign of respect to act accordingly or not to go.


I lived in Salt Lake City for two years.

1. clean as could be
2. low crime
3. reasonable cost of living
4. overall, very decent folk

Let the liberals go elsewhere with their filth.
LEAVE THE MORMONS ALONE!

I would haved lived there full time, but as a
truck driver, I don't fancy crossing Wyoming (or
the rest of the Rocky Mountains) during the brutal
winters.

MAYBE I'l retire there.
I'm not a Mormon, but I have a healthy
respect for their culture.

Their land their say.

What part of "detain" don't you understand, you ignorant clot?

"Go find a park homos."

And what would you say to a straight couple kissing on Mormon Plaza?

"I'm not sure what the plaza looked like, but to me an equivalent would be the old cathedrals in Europe -- covering shoulders, knees, etc"

That's only when you enter the cathedral. You don't need to wear that shit standing outside.

I wonder how the culture of faggotry would respond if Mormons showed up in San Francisco and engaged in "in your face" behaviors toward the locals?

Such good clean folk those homos!

"I wonder how the culture of faggotry would respond if Mormons showed up in San Francisco and engaged in "in your face" behaviors toward the locals? "

They'd cheer them on.

What's your point?

#31 -- good point.

What were they doing that every straight couple doesn't get to do at whim?

To the one who wishing to retire in the sterility of Salt Lake City, have at it with my blessings. Say hello to the lobotomized robots in suits and ties, skirts and heels, who greet you at Temple Square. Don't forget miss the top floor of the visitors' center, a replica of heaven in the middle of which is a plaster Jesus. If you press a button (journalistic ethics prohibit my saying belly button) it speaks to you in scriptural verses. Say hello, too, to Mrs. God in the kitchen, a heaven for women that's ETERNAL pregnancy, the level of which is determined by what your HUSBAND achieved in his life time. And maybe you can greet the poor souls jerked after 500 years by posthumous baptism from their hellish poker games into a funless heaven. herm

Oh, yes, your comments are certainly justified.

How does it being private property lessen the bigotry? What if it was a guy who gave his girl a peck on the cheek? Would the hysterical overeaction still have happened?

man I love watching homophobes squirm.
wass up KBM, did your weenie twitch at the thought?

LOL!! So fucking pathetic.

Theoretically shopping malls are "private property". People ARE watching.

They werent detained LUP:

"Church spokeswoman Kim Farah said in a statement Friday that the men were "politely asked to stop engaging in inappropriate behavior just as any other couple would have been."

"They became argumentative and used profanity and refused to leave the property," she said. The church did not immediately respond to a request for more comment.

Police later arrived and both men were cited with misdemeanor trespassing, Salt Lake City Police Sgt. Robin Snyder said."

And Briwo: private property doesnt lessen the bigotry but bigots have a right to be bigots on their private property.

"bigots have a right to be bigots on their private property."

Not really familiar with law, are you, bunky?

"He said other guards arrived and the men were handcuffed."

Ah, no worries. You're a moron.

Fuckin' religions. They just can't stay the fuck out of others people's lives.


Here these two go on to private church property and act out in a way not consonant with the religious beliefs of the people on whose property they are acting out.

Just who are the intruders?

It seems to be the two homosexuals who "cannot stay out of other peoples lives" in this instance briwo.

Now you may not subscribe to religious beliefs and practices, but wouldn't it be an intrusion to two homosexuals decide to simulate sexual relations on the altar of a Catholic Church while the Priest is preparing the eucharist?

It seems that the tenor of many of the posters here is that homosexuals instead of "doing their own thing" on their own domain, should instead combine in a mob and create a greater disturbance intruding on the close of other people.

What a hateful and intolerant group.

Some of us may not subscribe to the doctrines of the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but they have created a hard-working and honorable and constructive group of people , and a communities in which it is safe to live and in which there is much love.

I suppose that you cosmopolitans who seem to celebrate homosexuality as a sacrament in your addled value system object to a loving, peaceful, and tranquil community. You folks crave excitement. Why not congregate and enjoy the thrills in your own communities rather than delighting in being intrusive upon and disruptive of the lives of others.

You anti-religious bigots are creepy.

"It doesn't matter what they were asked to leave for," Snyder said. "If they are asked to leave and don't they are ... trespassing."

Yes I am very familiar with the law. I think the cop says it rather succinctly right there.

They refused to leave and were handcuffed by guards. That is not the same as being 'detained'.

I've been on the same side of the law as these guys. I've been asked to leave several places for behavior that was deemed immoral by those who owned the property. Once it was for simply holding hands with a woman to whom I wasnt married, that was a church run community center. Another time I was told I wasnt allowed to kiss my girlfriend at a concert I paid to attend. When I objected I was asked to leave, I refused to go without a refund. The police were called and I was subsequently arrested.

I don't condone the Mormon's stance on homosexuality or pda but these guys should have just left. Discretion is the better part of valour.

And as for calling me names it only proves the lack of substance to your argument as well as a lack of maturity.

herm and others, I'm certainly glad that we have a twofer, a winner for all of us. Those who don't like Utah (and by the way Salt Lake City has become something of a Democrat bastion) stay away. You're happy. The Utahans are happy.

Hard-working, prudent, responsible, and what's the unemployment rate? Low. That's Utah. Balanced budget? That's Utah. Living within your means. That's Utah. Voluntary kindness and charity. That's Utah.

Why don't those of you who find Utah not congenial to you, also invite these two homosexuals who want to act out to your bailiwicks so that they can find folks congenial to the way they seek to live their lives? Maybe you can applaud their public attempt to demonstrate intimacy. In fact, if you're voyeurs, you and their exhibitionism will complement each other's "needs."

Are any of the folks who think being "potty-mouths" demonstrates clever repartee, from Utah? I don't think so. Stay where you're happy.

Look, who wants to see a couple of homo's kissing? It's inherently gross. Especially if they have beards.

Just a brief attempt to stalk "Johnson" with a few truth squad footnotes:

"Salt Lake City has become something of a Democrat bastion..."

Not total fiction, Rocky Anderson is an articulate mayor. TWO Unitarian Universalist congregations operate there. But don't go expecting to find an oasis, a Castro or Greenwich Village.

"Hard-working, prudent, responsible, and what's the unemployment rate?" Low. That's Utah. Balanced budget? That's Utah. Living within your means. That's Utah. Voluntary kindness..."

The LDS hierarchy does take care of its own, and woe unto those who turn to public assistance. All you need to do to collect is totally mortgage your soul to Mormon gatherings and Mormon beliefs.

"Why don't those who find Utah not congenial also invite these two homosexuals who want to act out to your bailiwicks so that they can find folks congenial to the way they seek to live their lives?"

A variant of the "love ir or leave it" I've heard for so long.

"Folks who think being 'potty-mouths' ...stay where you're happy."

"Johnson" defines another terms. Potty-mouth? Johnson is squeaky clean? herm

I didn't say that. You were the one who seemed to be trying to claim the LDS church and its members were not major players in the passage of Prop 8.

They were.

And what would you say to a straight couple kissing on Mormon Plaza?

Depends on whether they were married or not. Also depends on if they were using tongue. If yes, the proper mormon response would be to "go find a hotel." Parks are reserved for the more deviants under mormon rules.

How does gay people marrying each other affect the Mormon Church? Oh yeah, it doesn't.

Sorry, I may not have been clear - my #119 was directed at #117, who seemed to think Prop 8 was equivilant to Mormons showing up in San Fransisco "engag[ing] in 'in your face' behaviors toward the locals". I was trying to state that there were many many others who supported Prop 8; additionally, most of the Mormons (and "Mormon money") that supported it were Californian themselves.

Yes, the LDS folks DID contribute to Prop 8 passage, but it was neither a "Mormon" bill (not introduced by the LDS Church) nor was it a bill solely or primarily supported/funded by Mormons - hundreds of other entities and millions of other people supported it. Tens of millions of dollars came from other sources. Hope that clarifies things.

Drunken sexual predator and pathological liar forms own church which eventually morphs into the largest business enterprize in the United States. Its wealth is closely tied to the tax free status it enjoys, even though its primary function is business. This is actually a common practice in the USA tax system.

Quote: "public displays of affection aren't allowed on the property."

I'd love to see the actual law they believe they were enforcing. End Quote

The answer is simple, TRESPASSING!

They have rules of appropriate behavior on THEIR PROPERTY. If you violate those rules you will be asked to leave. If you don't, you are TRESPASSING! Their plaza isn't a piece of public property. Therefore, they have the right to enforce their rules on people that choose to enter it. If you enter my property and do something I don't like, I will ask you to leave. If you refuse, I will call the police and have you removed as a trespasser. I won't allow homosexuals to kiss and grope each other on my property, either.

LOL Wal-Mart and Exxon have nothing on those Mormons, eh Nutcase? Hyperbole much? Just another talking point...

Let's see a heterosexual Mormon couple go into a San Francisco gay bar wearing "We Support Prop 8" T-shirts and see how they're received. Let's see how long they're allowed to remain. Let's also witness the lawsuits that come from fagdom against the couple for such an irreverent display.

Lawsuits? Goddamn you're stupid.

Its a good bet the Mormon "Non-Profit" owns a good chunk of Wal-Mart & Exxon & Las Vegas, they are the largest landholders in Utah, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Idaho and Florida. All of it completely legal, secret AND tax free which seems to me an ethical violation.

Sure lawsuits. That's how the litigious left works. When a vote doesn't go your way, sue the state and have the courts overturn it. When you spill hot coffee on your lap, sue McDonalds. If you don't like Walmart, sue them for discrimination. When fags are offended, throw a hissy fit in court.

You're fucking retarded, OneBS. But you probably already know that.

Gosh, this would validate the premise that Mormons are hard-working and thrifty.

By the way, ask TaxMan or someone knowledgeable, but anyway it used to be that religious groups that held other property and businesses were taxed on them just the same as if they were non-religious entities.

Oh, some homophiles including practicing homosexuals, seem to have taken the advice and acted out the fantasies of a blogger on this thread as a group of them (approximately 100) held a "Kiss-in" outside of the plaza. These brave folk elected not to act out on LDS property.

I wonder how much of this orcehstrated drama is intended to affect the candidacy of Mitt Romney, who is actively running for the Presidency. He's intelligent, experienced, well-rounded, has all sorts of positive traits. And he's good-looking, which may attract some of the women voters.

Romney is a man who has the knowledge and experience to salvage the economy, which has been so damaged by the Marxist Obama seeking to impose over state control and a dictatorship of the proletariat. Romney is a man with gravitas, while you can watch the self-absorbed Obama prance and preen. He's like an entertainer and is on his "Denounce America Tour."

Was that Mormon Plaza or MORON plaza?

Man what the fuck is wrong with Mormons?

They're delusional control freaks for the most part.

More of a cult than a proper religion, really.

Be Well.

johnson,

Yes, they are generally honest, hard working, well educated and thrifty. Those individuals pay tax, like the r3est of us and tithing. But the "Non-Profit" Corporation posing as a Church is a piece of paper and an IBM mainframe computer. A royal scam against the people of the United States.

Just like Wall Street, all their finances are top secret. How the fuck do you tax much less regulate a secret? They do not pay tax. They use the rest of us for free.

Mormon and Christian enclaves are renowned for child abuse, as are many religiously separate communities. Quakers do not have state police, nor did the Rashneeshee. They have their own police. Like any large corporation vulnerable to attack tend towards - internal security is fundamental to external exclusion.

Yes, their gardens are "kept".

Continually reprising the base philosophy and similarly emphasizing cultural monochromatic tendencies it does appear that Mormon are also being "tribalized".

Their anti-gayness is awful. Some institutionalize and electrocute their children to "relieve" them of this burden. They don't need to kick them out for not conforming to Mormon theology, but they often have. Families of gay children are privately, internally destroyed for religious "cause".

In some ways it's possible to argue that the Mormon are no different than perhaps the Saudi Kingdom of Sunni Muslim who treat women literally as chattel, or alternately the Chinese governments militaristic abuse of racial and religious minorities. Or even the Catholic priesthood, still unwilling to reconcile it's horrific nature. They are all attempting to monify their masses and destroy outside influence while suppressing their own "human condition". It's a perpetually losing battle against what makes us able to think, speak and act freely. People no longer believe Jonah literally lived inside of a whale (unless he's from a Miazaki film or it was a UFO), that tomatoes are poisonous (aside from certain allergic unfortunates) or that human sexuality includes many more decisions and reactions than their books, philosophizing and scare tactics can possibly account for. So they ban them all, other than when, where and with whom their masses shall have sexual intercourse with there shall be NONE. "God gets quite irate!"

I should say that people do no longer believe that the books, philosophizing and whatnot are able to reconcile these truths.

Mormon and Christian enclaves...

Interesting that a thread about a gay kiss brings up allegations of child abuse, treating women as "chattel", and militaristic abuse toward mainstream Mormonism.

I was in a Cathedral in France some years back and was holding my wife's hand as we walked through. A priest stopped us and speaking in French, managed to explain to us that wasn't allowed. (I don't know if that's a Catholic thing or a French thing)

But, we just parted hands and said "thank you."

It's their property.. if you visit follow their rules or leave. If not, then the cops can come get you.

I own my building, and I don't let people smoke it in it. Big deal.

Oh, did you read the article? They were also cited by the police for tresspassing. Clearly they were in the wrong legally.

www.deseretnews.com

"After a period of questioning of Aune and Jones on the validity of their removal, security officers handcuffed the pair, emptied their pockets and escorted them off the property, the blog states....Police gave the men trespassing citations, class C misdemeanors, escorted them off the property and released them. Anytime a private property owner asks someone to leave and that person refuses, it becomes a trespassing case, said Salt Lake police Sgt. Robin Snyder."

Maybe they should have just left when asked to instead of causing a scene and breaking the law.

A public plaza that happens to be privately owned by the Mormon church should forbid people looking or behaving in a certain way? Should they also disallow loud clothing? What other non-harmful manner of personal expression should be forbidden? These two were keeping to themselves on their way home from a concert, the bigot Mormon guards made this into a public spectacle.

Common fucking sense, that's my authority.

This was taken too far, and the Mormons should not have the power to deny people a peck on the cheek. That's sick and wrong, I don't equate the behavior with any personal risk to anyone, anyplace at any time whatsoever.

They were not inside of a "sacred house of worship" and were passing through the paved plaza that spreads across downtown. Unless it's an enclosed space and there is proof of personal detriment of any kind the Mormon church should not have the authority to deny anyone an innocent kiss on their cheek.

It's seriously unfortunate that so much of the public grounds in Salt Lake City are privately owned by the Mormon church. Apparently you can't walk home without treding through a danger zone.

their property, their right. does the state have a rule against discrimination on sexual orientation? if so, they may have a problem. if not, then they can do whatever they damn well want - as stupid as it may be.

I concede since this publicly used area is technically for the Mormon church exclusively it should be marked as such if it isn't already. Can they have out of door rules whereby their interconnection with the city supercedes common law? Seriously, city planners must be Mormon.

Wrong-thinking leads to fascistic displays where a kiss gets you cuffed.

These homosexuals certainly seem to want the world to be molded to accommodate their peculiarities. What an intrusive group of unfortunates, who parade their impairment as if it were a badge that positively distinguished them.

I wonder how many straight couples have similarly been repremanded for innocent public affection, then publicly desciminated against? A kiss on the cheek getting anyone handcuffed offends me far more than the Mormon utterly imaginary take on ethnicity, sexuality, history and any purported Biblical revisionism. Even their predisposition toward re-dedicating generations of civil war graves to increase their annual census is less acerbic than the plaza's moronic goon squads desire to uphold the failed letter of Mormon law, rather than any "modernized", rational or tolerable version. This is obvious hostility toward gay people.

Again a spokesman for the homosexual contingent is making an effort to normalize their practices, and make them acceptable in a culture which largely views them as repugnant.

Go back to your closets, and do what you will. Just stop intruding your behavior into the lives of other people. That's a fair trade-off. I supported decriminalizing homosexual behavior despite cautions regarding a "slipperly slope," and the aggressiveness of homosexuals who would try to extend decriminalization into normalization and then demand "rights" to be considered normal, and then to have other groups deprived of rights if those groups such as the Boy Scouts did not respond positively to homosexual demands.

Maybe things have come to the sorry pass where the normals need to fight back rather than passively respond to the intemperate demands of homosexuals. The homosexuals have entrenched themselves and defined the turf to be contested seemingly unaware that their behavior can again be criminalized if they rile up too many people with their insatiable "demands." Maybe instead of "gay marriage," the new battle will be regarding criminalization of certain activities between same sex persons.

"the intemperate demands of homosexuals"

aka equality.

If homosexuals seek to provoke a fight, they may get it. But it may be about matters other than those they sought. "The closet" as a place for them to cavort may end up being a concession to homosexuals, a "don't ask," "don't tell" refuge for homosexuals in civilian society with negative sanctions for observed overt homosexual behavior or practices.

Imo, no American citizen should ever be detained for a peck on the cheek, under almost any circumstances. I just can't realistically equate this behavior with anything immoral or wrong. It's a commonly used greeting throughout the entire world. Do Mormon not touch each other unless it's for sexual intercourse? Do they believe that a peck on the cheek is precursor to anal penetration by these two dudes? Why are there "no innocent contact" rules whatsoever? If these two dudes weren't practicing Mormon then what Mormon law is actually being broken?

They were walking home, apparently not making out.

Ah, the eye of the beholder. To a heterosexual, Rogue, it appears that one man is whispering something to the other. Apparently to the homosexual, it appears that they are "kissing." Look at the picture more closely Rogue.

And if they were "kissing," it would be just as repugnant as two male homosexuals engaging in such an unnatural act.

The homosexuals seem to be focused on the LDS despite the fact that numerous other churches opposed them, and that minority groups resoundingly voted against homosexual aspirations that the government indulge their pretenses.

Why did the homosexuals single out the LDS as the particular group they seek to lambaste for denial of their search for validation with a government imprimatur in California? The elitist Court said "yes" to homosexual pretenses, but the people with their incisive intuitional response recognized the inanity of the illusions of homosexuals and denied them the validation they sought.

Because there isn't biological equivalency.

Does the phrase mean that every man is the same height and can reach high or low shelves with equal facility? Or that men being equal, are all as adept as basketball players.

Gays are "equal" in that they are empowered to engage in the same normal activity. When their activity is out of range of normalcy, all men are again equal since gay or normal, a man seeking intimacy with another man is a biological exception, and is treated as such - equally. You are trying to by fiat declare equivalency in the law between behaviors that are not equivalent.

Why do the LDS bother excluding homosexuals? Why do they torment themselves with this futile "duty" to "cleanse from impurities and immoral behavior" they are perfectly able to tolerate without a whimper? It's because they selectively worship the Bible attempting to shield themselves with mistranslated, unfathomably dismal societal bindings of a long-dead cultural war they have no idea about which was invented, let alone fought or end. Christianity, Judaism and Islam's many faces will eventually die off entirely only to be observed as a legacy of lies and political control - which is what they mainly represent to this day. Love and tolerance - they are even less observable in this particular Christian sect where touching is forbidden and they all dress, act and think alike.

Homosexuality has nothing to do with kissing anyone on the cheek - these are basic rights of expression the Mormons are condemning. Don't you feel slightly unnerved by their intention of forcing everyone to obey Mormon code of conduct, non-Mormon included? Don't you see their corporate structure as having a vested interest in creating an easy target amid the gay population? They obviously do, or they would not have donated millions toward their discrimination in an entirely different State.

Wrong-thinking leads to fascistic displays where a kiss gets you cuffed.

I dunno. I think fascistic displays are when the government starts telling us what we can and cannot tolerate on land that is private property.

The only thing that does bug me, in all honesty, is that these guys get an IRS tax break. I'd like to say that that should subject them to some governmental regulation on stuff like this. But, if you take that position, then you get into forcing the Catholic Church to have female priests, etc... I'm not sure that's the right road to go down.
