I have written a summary of the event on my blog <a href="http://uncommonvistas.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/signing-for-something/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. There are also links to news videos from KSL, Fox 13 and ABC 4. I am very grateful to the organizers of Signing for Something for allowing people like myself to have a voice, even if a small one, in what would otherwise been a one-sided debate (the Church's favorite kind). Hell, it's still very one-sided as far as I'm concerned in Utah, but at least there's awareness that not everyone is in agreement with the Church on this one. Thanks, chanson, for getting the word out, and thanks to all of the people who are linked here for doing their part to stand up for equal rights!

One of my email messages was sent to a few bishops and the stake president (unintentionally) and raised a few hackles. People came up to the bishop after stake conference asking to deal with me. I confess that it amuses me to hear that. The bishop mentioned that the church sent out an email on Tuesday backing of on asking members of the church to volunteer in phone banks calling voters in California.

I wonder if it would help people see the hypocrisy of their position. Regrettably, I think some people might actually take the proposal seriously.
